Ben Shapiro is on the Wrong Side of History - Prager U Response Apr 30, 2019

Show notes

So Ben Shapiro did one of his Prager U video based on his book. The video happens to cover more of the history side of things(which I missed in my review episode), so I thought it would be some fun new content to include. Plus, you receive his actual wording and voice to connect with my responses! As always, thanks for listening.

Dennis Prager(Prager U) Thinks You Can't Justify Not Murdering Without God Apr 23, 2019

Show notes

I tackle a new podcast episode format in this one, taking on some Prager U content! I guess Dennis Prager thinks you can't justify not murdering without God. In that case, I hope he continues believing in God for our safety. Anyway, I deconstruct his arguments for objective morality based on God. I also address his misunderstanding of the English language.

Show notes

Jordan Peele has done it again in this one. The creator of Get Out has made a great film full of deeper meanings and thoughtful symbolism. I take a look at his recent film 'Us' that has been all the rage. How does the film force us to examine not only ourselves but society itself? Tune in!

Bad Philosophy: God's Not Dead Mar 26, 2019

We Are Not Good Mar 21, 2019

Show notes

Hmmm, I give off a little bit of my opinion in this one. Just went down the rabbit hole. I'm posting because I want all your thoughts. How good are we? When I hear this question, I want my gut reaction to be yes, of course, we are good! But the thinking side of me starts to take over, ‘but is this the case?’Thanks for listening, please subscribe, rate, and review!Support the Podcast and Gain Full Access: https://www.patreon.com/thephilosophyguyYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvqYKgKlEBRf4658pc8NeTwTwitter: https://twitter.com/brendenweber_Amazon Banner link: https://amzn.to/2Hf7lsJEmail: thephilosophyguy2@gmail.comVenmo tip jar: @brenden-weberYou can also support me by clapping my Medium posts: https://medium.com/@brendenweberWebsite: https://thephilosophyguy.fireside.fm/A Philosopher's Stone Newsletter + Book List: https://mailchi.mp/b747e897b383/aphilosophersstoneA Philosopher's Stone Publication: https://medium.com/the-philosophers-stone
