Truth Wanted 08.43 with Kelley Laughlin and Flabbergasted

In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, Kelley Laughlin and Flabbergasted look for a baby in the bathwater where the air around them is still not proving that god exists. Jon in Canada, asks what Kelley’s religious background was and Kelley described how he stopped going to church around age 13 because the belief just did not make sense. Jon mentions a famous quote of not throwing the baby out with the bathwater. If there was a baby in the bathwater, what would it look like? The bathwater often drowns people into submitting to the belief of the baby being there, when there is no baby at all. Georgi in Bulgaria, has a belief that we are eternal beings because we want meaningful experiences. How is something true once we imagine it or just because we want it? Why don’t we remember our past lives? We can imagine all kinds of things, but how do we know when they are true? Show us the work and prove how wanting something makes it true. How do we find the value in our experiences if we have an infinite number of experiences? It is important to care about whether your beliefs are true or not. Sarah in Indonesia describes god as air is to the sound of music and that god is within everything that exists. Music is air’s reaction to a physical thing; music is not made out of air. We are experiencing everything around us right now and don’t experience god. What is missing from the experience? How would a quantum physicist approach this concept? Why should we even call this thing god and what purpose does this god serve? Thank you for joining us this week! Damien H, our back up and third host of the show states the question of the week: If you were invisible in a church service, what would you do? See you all next week on Halloween!
