36- The Problem with Monotheism | Santa and the Tooth Fairy Pt. 2
The idea of Monotheism vs. Polytheism is an inadequate way of describing reality.

We help people understand how beings that are not concrete and measurable, can nonetheless exist, and inevitably so. Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are often the examples used by atheists to explain how they have come to not believe in imaginary beings who do not exist and that it was the same process which led them to stop believing in God.

32- Zombies, Postmodernism and Art
Expanding on a talk I gave last year called Pentecost for the Zombie Apocalypse, I discuss the meaning of the zombie and the monster in general as a portent of cultural patterns. By examining the traditional vision of the world and by exploring ancient stories. I trace a parallel to the development of modern art and contemporary culture through contemporary authors such as Jacques Derrida and John Vervaeke's recent book, "Zombies in Western Culture". Finally I explore the positive place of the monster in the figure of St-Christopher. This conference was given at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina on March 15th, 2017.

29- Garments of Death and Garments of Light
In the Christian tradition, it is said that Adam and Eve were covered garments of light or garments of glory before the fall. After the fall, they are covered in garments of dead skins. I try to show what these traditions mean in relation to Being. I also explore the interesting relationship between the two garments and how the relationships is revealed to us in certain persistent mistakes of translation or of transcription which nonetheless show us an underlying pattern of the world.
