S3E1: (re) What do you mean, "There's no God"?
04/01/22 • 35 min
What does it mean to say, “There’s no God?”
What it means for us today, to say, “there’s no God,” is quite different from what it meant for people living just several centuries ago, to say, “there’s no God.”
That's because people back then did not merely believe that God exists. They perceived God in their world. Then, some time ago, God disappeared from our perception. We forgot what it meant to hear God speak, or see God in our lives, and so, one day, ‘God’ was no longer "there.”
* Revised on April 3 for greater clarity and flow in the 2nd half.
3:00 How the ancients perceived their gods
10:10 What it means to perceive God
20:58 A metaphor made God disappear from the cosmos
27:53 A metaphor made God disappear from our lives

S3E2: Is Abraham a "historical" figure? No... and Yes.
Abraham, Sarah, and their family--are they "historical" figures?
The simple answer? No... and Yes. (Ok, so it's not a simple answer)
Another answer is the actual title of this episode:
"Historical in/significance of Abraham's story"
This odd title can refer to four things.
1) The "insignificance" of Abraham as a "historical figure" for historians
2) The significance of Abraham's story in history
3) The historical dimension "in the significance" of Abraham's story
4) The significance of Abraham in how history has unfolded ever since.
And all of that leads us back to God's original promise to Abraham in Genesis, to bless him, to make him great, and to make his name significant, so that he will be a blessing to all people.

8:29 ... the Ancestral History in Genesis

S3E1: What do you mean, “There’s no God”?
[ pendulum ]
“Do you believe that God exists?”
Many of us today, perhaps more than any time in human history, would either say “no,” or at least hesitate to say, “yes.” Belief in deities seems to be waning in many of our modern, secular societies, especially here in the West, for good or for ill.
But, what does it mean to believe or say that “there’s no
