122: Does God exist? P&C review some of the more common arguments

P&C drink and review another Pastry Archy offering: Oatmeal Cream Pie, an imperial honey wheat ale.

With their minds sufficiently lubricated by delicious beer, they review arguments for the existence of God, starting with Anselm’s ontological argument.

They move on to several of Aquinas’ arguments, which mostly revolve around the concept of an infinite regress.

Some of the arguments involve the old “can you get something from nothing” question, and the idea of gradation. When we compare things, are we assuming an ultimate standard? What about morals, and miracles, and ….

They can’t cover it all, but P&C review some of the more well-known arguments and add their commentary.

119: Jordan Peterson as Martin Luther version 2

P&C drink and review the latest Pastry Archy offering from DuClaw, then discuss the similarities between Martin Luther and Jordan Peterson.

Crowhill is convinced Dr. Peterson is on the edge of a major transformation, and can see similarities between Dr. Peterson and Dr. Luther — especially in how they deal with the righteousness of God.

Peterson seems unable to deal with the moral weight of God’s existence in a healthy way. It crushes him. It terrifies him. As it did Luther.

JP will have to solve this. And soon.

There are also parallels between the social and cultural environments in 1517 and 2021.
