“I was so excited to find them until I had the misfortune of waiting through what I thought would be a podcast about agreeing to disagree, but ended up being a thinly veiled rant against religious people. From what pedestal? Ironically one against absolutism. Rename the podcast”two very open minded people just want religious people to stop being religious”. An example is that many times something along the lines of this was said, “Please just admit that you don’t actually know if what you believe in is true but that it helps you”. No my friends, apart from the expired caveman instincts that you implied are the reason for religion in the first place, many if not most religious people have had a conversion based on an experience that logic would behold them to say with absolute certainty that God is amongst them. What distinguishes a person with a religion from a person with a hypothesis is that they are not wondering if they are right. If my hands were not busy running an experiment I would have switched. But I came to have a rant of my own that as a scientist surrounded by top tier MD Phds in the country who are also deeply Catholic, I came to your podcast to learn something new but instead had to sit through another throw up of historically basic arguments against myself, colleagues and family as if half our brains were lost in the progress of evolution simply because we do not believe in your disbelief.”
