Summary

In today’s episode of Talk Heathen, ObjectivelyDan and Johnny Perceval Pursable Angel sort out questions of wars, existence, biblical criticisms, and solarpunk future.

Connie from Canada is our first caller who believes the events occurring today have been predicted in the Book of Revelation. Can you name a time when there was not a war or rumor of a war happening? If the wars in the book are true, does that mean everything else in the book is true? Who are we to say that wars that affect certain cultural groups are less important wars than others?

Mark in NY says the universe is contingent on something to exist and that must be god. The caller asks if nothing is a possibility instead of a universe. There is nothing that we can observe that suggests design has to be part of the universe. Maybe it was started by an outside force, but defining what that force is takes us far from theism. If the universe is contingent on something that kicks it into motion, how do you explain the exemption of the prime mover? Why does this prime mover have to be a god? It is okay to admit that we just don’t know.

Daniel from SC asks what the criticisms atheists have of the living Bible. Is it your understanding that the Bible is a collection of stories that provides guidance but is not divinely inspired? How is divine inspiration that allows us to own others any different from just owning people? Kindness, compassion, and cooperation speaks to us being human, not Christian. Why is faith a virtue?
Gabriel in Canada educates us about how solarpunk puts an emphasis on secular spirituality, and asks what communities and spiritualities would look like if solarpunk were to happen. Environmentalism has existed as a spiritual practice for decades if not longer. It is important to keep individual rights as a priority and not let them be forfeited for the greater good.
Thank you to all our viewers and supporters! We want to thank all the essential workers. See you next week!
