Personally, I think @RandalRauser has offered a more compelling, morally grounded vision of Christianity than just about anyone else working in this space.
Here I am with the great @PhilosopherMKD talking about the mind-body problem again. We discuss how to define "physical," the conceivability of zombies, the incoherence of property dualism, and where panpsychism fits in https://t.co/UsomWGiMa7
"Don't worry, Steve, you're not disordered.
"It's just the orientation that forms a core part of your identity, & the way you feel naturally inclined to express your deep love and commitment to your romantic partner, that are disordered."
A distinction without a difference.
Dear Christians, in case it is relevant to you or someone you know:
If human beliefs are fallible, that applies to the human belief that the Bible (the Church, Pope, etc.) is infallible.
Even if the Bible IS infallible, your BELIEF in it is not.
Application: if reason or evidence challenges your belief in a divine source, you should NOT automatically subject your evidence to [your prior belief in] that source.
Privileging one fallible belief over all others is epistemically bad practice. The habit leads you to be a prisoner of whoever can convince you that THEY speak for God (even *if* they do).
This was a great, in depth cross-examination on my recent psychedelic experience, and how they connect to my non-standard religious beliefs. Link below and in bio.
Here's a recent conversation I had with philosopher Talia Bettcher. The conversation easily could/should have gone on for several hours, but hopefully you'll be content with 1h 47m.

In his latest book, Paul Draper writes that "[t]o those theists who...complain that this book contains no arguments against the existence of the sort of God in which they believe, my only response is, 'You're welcome'" (p. 18). That's the energy I want to emulate.
