EP 06 | The Psychopath God? Rethinking Perfection, Time, and Emotion in Modern Theology w/ Dr. R.T. Mullins

I sat down with theologian Dr. R.T. Mullins (The Reluctant Theologian, author of Eternal in Love: A Little Book About a Big God) for a radical discussion that challenged centuries of tradition. We broke down why the idea of a timeless, unmoving God is not only logically incoherent but also deeply damaging to our spiritual health and personal relationships.If you suspect your theology is causing anxiety, I think it's time for an upgrade. Dr. Mullins argues for a temporal, fully emotional, and personal God who is actively responsive to your life and genuinely cares about your flourishing, a God we can actually have a friendship with.What We Discussed:Why the traditional view of a Timeless God is logically and scripturally flawed.How God's perfection requires Him to be changing and responsive.The connection between Divine Impassibility and the emotional profile of a psychopath—a bold claim we had to explore.How your current Theology of Time might be fueling your anxiety and exhaustion.The true meaning of God's Patience in an age of speed.Why the trend toward AI Girlfriends and Religious Bots reveals a deep, unmet human need for a personal God.Timestamps:| Time | Topic || 00:00 | Intro: The Problem of Acceleration and Time| 03:20 | Dr. Mullen's New Book: Eternal in Love|08:17| Temporal God vs. Timeless God Defined|11:07| The Link Between Divine Temporality and Patience|17:50| The Myth of Immutability: Does Perfection Require God to be Unchanging?|23:30| The Incoherence of the "Analogous Time" Argument|26:43| The Problem with Divine Accommodation (Why Impassibility is Deceptive)|36:57| Divine Emotion: Why Sarcasm Can "Wake Up" Exhausted Minds|40:42| Defining Emotion: Why Love, Anger, and Compassion are Moral Virtues in God|45:18| The "Psychopath God" Critique of Classical Theism|55:00| The Problem of Evil: Does God Care About You?|01:02:28| AI, Depersonalization, and the Need for a Personal Creator|01:11:14| Knowing About God vs. Being Known By God|01:18:27| I Think Te Teed to Empathize with God Too!|01:21:08 | Practical Takeaways: How a Temporal God Changes Your Prayer Life|01:22:42| It's Okay to Go Slow: Finding Rest in an Eternal GodFollow Dr. R.T.
