Hello and welcome to Pints with Aquinas.

My name is Matt Frad and I am currently drinking a pint of coffee because it's 11.19 in the morning.

I mean, it would just be ridiculous if I was drinking the stout or something, which is the beer of choice.

I should point out.

If I were to drink a beer, it would be a nice, delicious stout with some Russian

monk on the front, no doubt. Lovely to have you here. Okay, here's what we're going to do today.

I want to share with you three reasons that Thomas Aquinas gives for why we should believe that there is only one God, why polytheism is false.

Then we'll take a look at four reasons Aquinas gives for why people have believed in multiple

gods. So that should be fun. After that, we'll take five questions from our patrons,

including a question on the difference between Pelagianism

and semi-Pelagianism. And then just for fun, I want to share with you seven of my favorite

short stories. Not sure if you follow me on Instagram or not, but over the weekend, I finished

finally Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. First time I've ever read it. I thought it was excellent. So I put that in the top seven. I'll be sharing them with you later on today. Hey, we've got a lot going on. A lot going on. Not only are we about to crest that 100,000 subscriber mark, but we've got a very exciting debate coming up for you soon. I'll be

announcing that later on today. You're not going to want to miss that. So please subscribe,

click that bell button because that kind of helps support the channel. So I'm excited about that.

Also, I want to let you know that in early January, we'll be putting on a series on Salvation History by Dr. Andrew Swofford.

This will just be for patrons.
