Absurdism, Religion, Rock Climbing w/ Alex

Alex is a Navy veteran, studying in exercise science, a rock climber, and holds to the philosophical theory of absurdism.  We talk about that and religion as well.

In the conversation I mention Alex O’Connor (atheist), Gavin Ortlund (theist) as well as Alvin Plantinga (philosopher). This video on animal suffering mentions all 3, for anyone interested:

Thinking Through Preterism, Calvinism & Open Theism w/ Richard Sire

Richard has thought about preterism (the idea of some in Christian faith that most of the prophesies concerning the end of the age took place in the 1st century), Calvinism (the idea of some in the Christian faith that the salvation of individuals from God’s punishment of sin is 100% his doing), and open theism (the idea of some in the Christian faith of the free will of man and even God doesn’t know for sure how it will play out).  We talk about that, and we also talk about Rich’s love of music and his Steinway piano.
