Isn't "smorgasbord" a great word? Amos Wollen, my friend and fellow Oxford graduate student, joins me to debate his novel argument for the compatibility of God's love and an eternal Hell, a theodicy involving our consenting to suffering prior to our births, a case for the Baha'i faith, a fine-tuning argument from beauty, and the real reason that I take so many bathroom breaks.Check out the video of the debate on YouTube.Amos has a great Substack that you should absolutely read.To support the channel, do please oh please consider donating, either via PayPal or Buy Me a Coffee.Follow me on X-formerly-Twitter.EPISODE CHAPTERS00:00:00 Introduction00:50 A new argument for Hell39:43 A pre-existence theodicy01:04:52 A fine-tuning argument from beauty01:25:02 A case for the Baha'i faith Get full access to Miles K.
