I am a minister in the Christian Reformed Church. I have a YouTube channel where I do commentary on religion, theology, belief, and thought leaders like Jordan Peterson, Eric and Bret Weinstein, the IDW and anything else I find interesting. I also have conversations with many in my audience.

  • Sam Harris triggers up you, not the other way around

    Paul —you’re fantastic, you strawman Sam Harris and don’t understand the most basic things he talks about. Before you get triggered discussing him again, talk to Sam or someone who gets it. You just sound silly to people who get Sam when you try to execute a takedown like in your most recent podcast.

Is "Why I Believe in God" best answered by an Argument? with Craig Biddle
Q: Is faith in reason a substitute for religious faith?
No; faith in reason is about trusting the processes of observation and logic, not substituting religious content with secular rationalism; the goal is a coherent, reality-grounded philosophy that supports human flourishing.
Is "Why I Believe in God" best answered by an Argument? with Craig Biddle
Q: Do you think faith is a means of knowledge?
I consider knowledge to be grounded in evidence and the causal structure of reality, but I acknowledge that faith can function as a form of trust in areas where evidence is incomplete; however, treating faith as a means of knowledge is dangerous because it can obligate action based on ungrounded claims.
