When God gives you free will and you use it to support Arsenal... Why, Joe?:/
We’re top of the table😉
Arsenal is objectively the most likeable club - how anyone could not like Wenger's project is beyond me :) it literally encapsulates everything that's virtuous
@@dominiks5068 some do it because they're committed to certain other teams, because of reasons (I guess).
Others because it's sportsball, and as such doomed to insignificance by default.
For now, I'll suspend judgement. And also be a hypocrite. 😅
27:00 why assume animals aren't on soul building journeys too? If souls in human bodies can have benefitcial transformations in consciousness from going through difficulty then why not souls in animal bodies?
That's why i love academic discussion.... it's not like random internet Atheists philosopher debating back and forth... thanks 👍 joe! it's always pleasure to hear you
This is an amazing conversation Joe. Thank you for making these lectures as well to your conversational participation for the top quality interactions
This girl is great, especially considering the language barrier. She asks you the right questions and gives you plenty of room to talk at length. It's a great format for noobs like me to pick up some useful ideas.
I definitely was looking for this and I didn't even know.
1:17:39 This was a great articulation of rational personification in pantheism (as opposed to pixie dust implying supernaturalism or a god of the gaps). Bravo! :)
I agree that most atheists aren't interested in religion. I've been an atheist for twenty-five years and I find religions fascinating. It must be said, I did start my journey into understanding religions interaction with societies after seeking and failing to find justification for a religious belief that I could accept. In learning more about the claims of various religions, their histories, evolutions, and the vast influence different religious beliefs systems have had on the societies in which they are practiced. The origins of religious beliefs are unknown, but it seems that the notion of an individual all powerful deity was introduced quite late, and in a limited geographical area, into religious systems that were established and widespread. The exclusivity of one true god, and the introduction of sacred writings from that god, altered not only the interaction of worshipers with their god, but the ability of those worshipers to interact with other people groups around them.
Could you please do a ‘Crash Course in the Philosophy of Mind?’
Joe, you don't know how valuable you are to every tribe.
❤️
Hi Joe I've been watching your videos for a few months now and you have inspired me to study philosophy of religion. Do u have any suggestions of where and what I can start with?
Watch " *7 tips for studying philosophy on your own* video by Joe from Capturing Christianity .
What do you think of this definition of philosophy? "The disciplined attempt to articulate and defend a worldview" This definition comes from John Frame.
oh, she has interviewed Kane B before! interesting
1:05:20 While the universe is measurable and qualifiable at least in principle, this "and something more" part of panantheisms has been called "supernaturalism," but I think deep time, deep-space (cosmic voides) dark-energy, the Quantum-Vacuum and thermodynamics has shown us a real measurable (in principle, though still limited) ways that it does make sense to talk about the "Void" as dynamic potential, even if not quite infinite potential. The Void becomes dynamic in vast and deep space-time quantum-vacuums, even producing big-bangs spontaneously with enough deep-time, and fluctuating q-vacuum/dark-energy. Im my eyes, this can describe the whole thing, physically, and being panantheistic or Spinosa's god if we define it as the Universe and the "pregnant" Void.
All of the definable characteristics, all the rationally personifiable characteristics of "god" are embedded firmly within the physically real properties and structures of mass-energy in space-time, which emerged/emerges bottom-up, not top-down from the constituents that are involved, but drawing it's most supernatural seeming elements from it's "mysteries" in cosmic deep time, cosmic voids, Q-vacuum and/or Dark Energy (infla-tons) can turn entropy dynamic and produce at universe spawning big-bang of energy out of no-where. The bubbling nature of space-time at the quantum scale is showing us that quantum-darwinism can promote the occurrence of A-biogenesis, and favor cooperative social evolutionary paths to increased intelligences (yes Im referencing the Informationalist's "self-realizing universe" theory).
well, there's my impression of where physicalist panantheist is with physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.
If someone believes that a certain book is inspired by God and that one should have their beliefs based on that book, how would those beliefs influence the way that he does philosophy? Would the way that he does philosophy be different from someone who does not have those beliefs?
Hey Joe/Mor; do you have a patreon or payment method where one can speak to you 1on1 on philosophy? Great video nonetheless
If you wanna email me, we can talk about a payment method for setting up a 1on1 philosophy call🙂

@@MajestyofReason perfect, I emailed you
Great discussion :) Joe, do you think that if God exists then its very unlikely that he wouldn't ground ethics by the brute fact of his nature?
I agree with you up to a point about the euthyphro problem but It seems strange to call the final brute fact about reality arbitrary if it's actually a true fact not just an epistemic possibility. What do you reckon? Thanks
Thanks!❤️
If I were a theist, my view about the relation b/n God and morally would be roughly the same as that of Dustin Crummett (and many others), who explains it well in his recent interview on The Analytic Christian channel. (That video is in my moral argument playlist)
@@MajestyofReason Cheers!
What's your bet for tommorow's game against Man United?
We’ve got some devastating injury issues… I can only hope for a good result…
Maybe 1-1 is my best guess.
I am writing a philosophical book full of models. Does Joe have time to evaluate it. If so what is his number?
See Joe's reply to the comment by *Aye Moe* in this comments section where he posted his contact information.
@@senkuishigami2485 many thanks to you
What do you think Joe - Arsenal dark horses for the title this season?
I still think City are clear of everyone else for winning it. But I think Arsenal could get 2nd🙂
@@MajestyofReason Think you might be right. Haaland unstoppable.
Joe, what is happening? Your video is getting bombed with trash comments by trash accounts, including spam bots. Is there someone out to get you?
can you actually do the official crash course for philosophy of religion Hank Green did a horrible job
There's a good response series to Hank Green ua-cam.com/play/PLlVH-ThCazKlzLxRmn39RqmLzTMnbr0zm.html
@@senkuishigami2485 most the audience wants something unbiased informative . The link you posted as you mentioned is a "response" all theistic philosophers. Thats why we want someone like Joe to do a series where he will tell us from both perspective and we get to choose from the info he provides. instead of the "response" meant to lead u one way towards a narrative.
Joe is doing interviews with Russians/Soviets? I knew it when he said (in his AMA) that he supports redistribution of wealth. 😂
34:22 - We can make up any supernatural explanation we feel like, and we can craft it such that every last pebble on Earth is expected under that explanation... but that by itself doesn't make it a better explanation, because it comes at the cost of being ever more ad-hoc.
The fact that we don't yet have a theory of everything shouldn't, I think, count against naturalism, any more than God's failure to explain why we have 5 fingers instead of 6 or 7 should count against Christianity. Explanatory scope, I think, is not as important as explanatory plausibility.
29:20 - So why is the explanation, the necessary foundation of contingent things, intelligent? It may well be that some necessary foundation of reality exists, but to think that it's intelligent is a really big leap, one which people like WLC don't like to spend a lot of time justifying.
I think she put the whole 'Bias in Philosophy of Religion' stuff in Joe's mouth lol 💀
That's called sharing an opinion! Although I probably could've been faster with my speech...
Philosophy of Religion aka Philosophy of Christianity.
*God, as an explanation for anything* = _"A Bigger Mystery"_
Unfortunately humanity has never been able to "confirm" a single fact about God, or _"how"_ he creates anything.
Oh boy
@@DesertEagel1995 oh boy is right
@@DesertEagel1995, are you a THEIST? 🤔
If so, what are the reasons for your BELIEF in God? 🤓
@@DesertEagel1995 I'll just assume you meant,
"oh boy", you've got that right.
@@moodyrick8503 Pathetic
A+ for the guest but C - for the interviewer. She was too bad. Really u should at least go over the questions before the podcast
Here's the new testament definition for true religion from the book of James, TO HELP WIDOWS AND ORPHANS IN THEIR AFFLICTION AND TO KEEP ONESELF UNSPOTTED FROM THE WORLD. You parallel that closely, HELPING WIDOWS AND ORPHANS would be the ritual, and KEEPING ONESELF UNSPOTTED FROM A WORLD would be separating from isms or ists. Jesus in speaking of the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGES, also parallels the idea that religious practice is tied to justice as the core value, the Goats were arguing their justification from their isms, but Jesus placed the requisite on the recognition of equity which the sheep had satisfied while unaware of it, that Christ as King is identified with THE LEAST OF THESE MY BRETHREN, but this identication was only satisfied in practice (in a court case in EQUITY, the maxim is HE WHO SEEKS EQUITY MUST DO EQUITY the pure heart, and he must come with CLEAN HANDS, called the CLEAN HANDS DOCTRINE). The centrality of the Abrahamic faith, is the focus of the scripture on MISHPAT and TSEDEK, equity and rights, which requires a single most high all-powerful God that requires and will enforce equity, you don't have that anywhere else, you can't get it from polytheism or pantheism atheism agnosticism or even a monotheism which does not provide an evidential GODMAN as the standard for EQUITY among all men.

The real history: ua-cam.com/video/PdsJs0UIm7s/v-deo.html
Your incorrectly stealing the term NATURALISM, where does leave John Muir our most famous naturalist who founded the Sierra club, and did not remotely define it as excluding by arguments that are substantiated in narcissism (that our desires concerning how creation should be to satisfy our pleasure are the standard) that God does not exist, but rather that nature is a gift provided for us to enjoy and care for, and for that reason he practiced his religion as an advocate for nature, from nature rather than pontificating in university corporations which live off of the destruction of nature. Did you know that the first animal rights society, the Royal society in Britain whose members like Wilberforce also fought for abolishion based both arguments on the Abrahamic faith in christ and a proper understanding of the YHVHJESUS from the scriptures. SHOW ME THE MONEY, where are the benefits in EQUITY AND RIGHTS from any other ism.
Good Girl! 👌
Incidentally, Slave, are you VEGAN? 🌱
What we mean by naturalism is simply whatever is described by the laws of nature.
Good talk. Pleasant to have an attractive female interested in these things.
You do know that it’s comments and thoughts like this that make this space less appealing for women right?

I keep hereing this God ordered genocide argument as if it's a slam dunk, but you strip it from its context. IF you accept the order, you should accept the context, Israel was surrounded by nations bent on genocide against Israel (just look at the context of the bronze age collapse) and the canaanite religions REQUIRED blood vengeance through out the generations, Islam still requires that and that's why Islam requires the destruction of anyone who rejects Islam. Now, you would want to say all religions are in that sense equal, but that is not the core of the religion, the core is equity as it can be applied among men in the real world which is the core of the TORAH and the prophets, and you can't have that EQUITY (you will not favor the poor, nor the rich but will judge in equity)without a God interested in equity which will enforce equity, because men left to themselves or other gods and isms won't do it, we've seen it. Yet again, in the ancient world the equity in Torah was recognized, that's why CYRUS who is considered by secular legal theorists to be the first to recognize rights, ordered the rebuilding of Jerusalem. Then from the first century it was Christian missions that established equity in religion across the globe. Before you say what God ought to have done differently, you should must have the context for why he did what he did. A crime is a nexus of the act prohibited and the intent, you should a least give God the benefit of a fair trial if your going to judge him. Well, you made your charges against God for crimes against nature and humanity, in Christ he plead NOLO CONTENDRE and was crucified for those crimes. Just so happens that while God died for the charge against him, Jesus the man never broke the law, Jewish or Roman, and was entitled to HABEAS CORPUS, i.e. the resurrection.
No context makes genocide good. At least on my moral values.
Also, I'm not taking any claim about Jesus seriously until you can give evidence he existed at all.
@@TheMahayanist you're against every mainstream scholar by being a Christ mythicist. Christian or not, scholarship is in unanimous disagreement with you
@@newglof9558 well i dont think so. While scholarship agrees that jesus of nazareth was a real person there is no agreement on the existence of jesus christ
Still the poster before is in disagreement with most of scholarship but i wanted to mention this
