Summary

Greetings, Heathens! Please continue to be safe, wear your mask, and social distance when possible. We are not out of the woods yet! In today’s episode, it’s the dynamic duo once again, Vi La Bianca and Eric Murphy!
Let’s get to calls. The first caller is returning caller Hadi from North Carolina. Continuing the conversation from previous calls, where we spoke and asked questions about the nature of truth; this time we question the afterlife and religious promises. The answer is 42, btw.
Next up, Vera from Colorado calls about her 2 cents on theism. She definitely seems to be close to the edge of deconversion! Eric gives Vera a challenge, try to see if you can find a purpose for yourself and your life without pinning it on God.
Hermer is up next, calling about prophecy and how it relates in today’s world. He also incorrectly stattes Revelation was written before Christ…except it wasn’t. Hermer is fascinating, and he lets us know that Vi is an atheist sorcerer!
Kendall calls back, continuing a conversation about objective morality and personal preference. He moves on to ask if God was true, would we repent? Kendall goes on to say, all that needs to be proven that God is omnipresent, is to prove God. Kendall, well, we are waiting for this proof…will it come in hula hoop form?
We have a first time caller, and he is a theist! He also claims to have a copyright on the Bible. Um, ok… Joe from Oklahoma also seems to be a presup (aka: presuppositional apologist). Whew, this one is a live one!
Next up, Aaron in Texas wonders when we figured out morality in our evolutionary timeline, how and when did we figure out that individual suffering was bad for our species.
WEAR A MASK! Thanks for tuning in! Please be safe and healthy out there, we appreciate you and when the pandemic/quarantine is lifted, we love to see you all in person at the library!

0:55.9	Hello, welcome to Talk Even. I'm never going to get tired of that. That is just way too fun. I honestly missed that when I was in the other room. Yeah? I like it too. Definitely. I'm so glad. I'm so glad that you're here. All right. So it's August 2nd, 2020. It is season 4, episode 31. I'm Eric Murphy. I'm Vla Bianca.
1:02.2	How's it going? How was your week this week? It was good. It was busy. I put out my very first How to Skeptic video, which is exciting and a long time coming. So that's up. That's out.
1:09.9	I have my next live stream already prepped. I've got the

1:18.7	feeling like I've got my arms wrapped around this. Good, good. And I got to see it. I really enjoyed
1:23.9	watching it. I like the androgynous cat cyborg. Yeah, if you haven't seen the androgynous cat cyborg, just like for that alone. Forget everything I'm actually saying, like that by itself. So good. Definitely. How about you? How was your week? It was really, really good. So I got a couple really big things that happened personally. Number one, I am finally, so number, well, let me turn that around. I'm going to be employed again. That's amazing. My unemployment ran out on Friday and on that very day, my old boss messaged me saying, Hey, Eric, we think we can bring you back at least part-time. That's amazing. Can you imagine if this is actually the first time you were telling me that? Yeah, right. I'm really, really excited about it. On top of that, because of that, I'm going to be able to upgrade the internet because I know that it's been a little fuzzy.
2:09.6	And that is entirely because my upload has just been garbage. But starting next week, it's going to get a whole lot better. So I'm excited about it. It's good.
