Podcast Overview

The Doubts Aloud Podcast!<br /><br />Join us as we allow doubts to be voiced regarding faith, religion and worldviews. Two of us have been Christians and none of us believe, so our current conclusion is that the doubts regarding Christianity are justified, but we are keen to question ourselves and hear Christian arguments and hear from Christian guests. Our background means that our conversation with Christianity will tend to dominate over other faiths. <br /><br />We are Frances Janusz, Andrew Whyte and Ed Atkinson. We value the use of reason and evidence to assess matters of faith and worldview. (Should we doubt those assumptions?). We will consider philosophy, theology, Biblical Studies, human experience from the thinking layman’s viewpoint. We greatly value respect for those we disagree with and engaging in discussion.

Episode 101 - Belief is Not a Choice, with Jon Cohen

Show Notes<br />We welcome Jon Cohen who leads us on his journey in life which has more recently led him to engage with Christians of all kinds on his successful YouTube live-stream show “Unconvinced”. Unlike many of us, he has no history as a Christian and so has a true outsider’s view of the faith.  A key step in his thinking has been exploring the implications of our beliefs not being our choices. It’s written up in his forthcoming book – see link in show notes.<br /> <br />Links:<br /><br />Don’t miss Jon’s book.

Episode 99 - C.S. Lewis's Trilemma

<b>Show Notes</b><br /><br />We start by dipping into the book with 50 arguments for God and a chapter “Jesus as God” which says that if we ditch 4th &amp; 5thC debates and modern categories of Trinity, we see Jesus expressing his divinity in his own way.  It explains Jesus’ caged language on this as Jesus needing to avoid being stoned for blasphemy.<br /><br />We look at some of the key passages in the gospels, in particular looking for differences between the author’s view and Jesus’ proclamations regarding whether he was God.  This leads on to the Liar Lunatic Lord argument made famous by CS Lewis, and the sceptics’ 4th option “Legend”.  <br /><br />We look at the “Liar” option. And we offer you: Misquoted, Misunderstood, Mythologised and Mistaken. <br />   <br /><b>Links:</b><br /><br />Books: <br />“Evidence for God: 50 Arguments for Faith from the Bible, History, Philosophy and Science” by Mike Licona and William Dembski. <br /><br />CS Lewis - “Mere Christianity”<br /><br />Bart Ehrman - “How Jesus Became God”<br /><br />Richard Carrier’s blog:<br />https://www.richardcarrier.info/archives/20130<br /><br />Doubts Aloud Links:<br />Please give feedback and ask questions using:  <br />doubtsaloud@gmail.com<br /> <br /> <br /><b>  </b><br /><br />
