🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Jay Edward Smith - Debate on Morality and the Existence of God

Jay Edward Smith is an intelligent, hard working and ethical investor and entrepreneur.

He comes from a gaming and streaming background but rose to fame during 2017 during the crypto and social investing boom. He is now one of the most prolific popular investors on eToro with almost two million followers and over 20,000 people copying his investments. He needs no introduction for users of eToro: https://www.etoro.com/people/jaynemesis

Jay and I were debating ethical investing and oil while watching him playing the game "Democracy 4" and the conversation evolved into morality and existence of God, and I thought it would be interesting to record with everybody's permission. Later on other people we know from the investment world joined in to contribute the debate.

0:00 Intro
2:16 Does God have the right to judge the things he has made?
7:35 Nikos is 99.999% atheist according to Jay, and how do I know my God is the correct one?
12:55 Is all sin equally as bad?
14:48 How do you know your God is the correct one?
17:00 Atheism relies on democracy rather than legacy religious rules
21:50 Back to free will and the risk that God took giving it (if some of his creation will end up in hell)
29:00 If it's not possible for a human being to disobey God, then God has made a robot
31:30 Inconsistent bible translations and the bibles manuscripts vs Plato's and Aristotle's
38:40 Hard atheism and the word good are arbitrary, and even among religions the word "good" can have different values
42:00 You need an absolute standard of the "good" to have objective morality
43:40 Does having a Time Machine destroy free will?
46:55 Can we say that certain people are absolutely going to hell and talk about Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia
48:50 The fear of God
52:14 How do I factor other religions into my view of God? What makes you think you know you are right? Mutually exclusive religions
57:00 Or God could be trolling us
1:04:11 How is this debate going to help our investment profits?
