This edition of The Freed Thinker Podcast we take a break from our presentation of my response to Jim Merrit's list of Bible contradictions and continue with the second part of what will ultimately be multipart series on the questions of moral philosophy. I am joined by my friends Nicholas Bruzzese from The Skeptics Testament (and who has been a guest on the show before) and Brandon Christian, who many of your may recognize from the TST facebook page.
In this second episode, is part 1 of a discussion that we had about my position - Theistic Objective Moral Realism.
For resources on this book I recommend the following books (later episodes I’ll recommend books, podcasts, and online articles for a little more variety)
Moral Philosophy: A Reader ed. by Pojman
Moral Relativism and Moral Objectivity by Gilbert Harman and Judith Jarvis Thomson
Enjoy the show!

In this episode of The Free Thinker Podcast we wrap up the presentation of my book review of David McAfee’s book Disproving Christianity and Other Secular Writings. We start with his chapter entitled Atrocities and Absurdities, move on to the conclusion of Part 1 of the book then finish up by looking at the handful of small secularist reflections (really more anti-theistic than strictly secular).
