Discord’s home for politics. The official politics discord for debate, history, philosophy, polls, & live events. One of the most active politics discord communities! The large politics discord hosted another AMA with myself and Fr Dcn. which led to a couple debates. Perspective philosophy, a YouTuber who has long desired a debate, hops on to promote his brand of philosophy and modified skepticism against TAG.
Today we do a full analysis of the greatest debate of the 2oth century – the Bahnsen/Stein Debate. Hopefully we will cover the many misunderstandings that arise from various sectors concerning the transcendental argument, the nature of proofs and evidences, the compatibility of philosophy with Orthodoxy, and especially this form of argumentation, the word-concept fallacy, calvinism and much more. Part 2 of the other talk will be up later tomorrow or the day after.
We return to the Genesis series as we cover the second chapter and its significance for man, as well as the secret prophetic and symbolic meanings, recalling the patristic analysis as well as the canonical context and typology. Genesis 2 focuses on the covenantal relationship between man and God, while chapter was cosmic in scope. I also explain the silly fiasco with Inspiring Philosophy at the outset as well as how it’s necessary to follow me on the backups. Live at 630 PM EST

After many requests, I am responding to the typical objection of the “problem of evil” if there is a Being who is All Loving and All Good, how can He permit evil? In this brief Q n A I will respond to the 3 main objections from our philosophic perspective as outlined in Job and other places in patristics. Our view of evil is that it is a privation, a negation and a move of the will away from the Good. It has no being in itself and ontological existence.
Can Theism be established logically? Is there a simple presentation of the transcendental argument that can be had in 15 minutes? In this video I attempt to boil down the presuppositional argument to a brief comparison and contrast with the atheist/secularist/materialist worldview as a test case. Logically the non-theist only has a limited number of paths it can take from its starting point. Early on, Sir Sceptic challenges this argument with his refined logic skills.
UPDATE:
Note for the debate: YouTube changed the ingestion settings live stream page since we tested it two days ago. Matt was cool about it and we are rescheduling for week of 19th. No one was running, YT has redone steaming page. You can’t schedule a live event and have it stream the way it used to since hangouts is gone, you have to use “live stream now.” My mistake
