"Dot com. Hey, we want to celebrate you and your bestie by sending you on an incredible trip together. How does this sound? We're going to fly you to Tampa. We're going to hook you up with a rental car. You're going to stay for three nights at the Don Cesar. You're going to have tickets to the Clearwater marine aquarium and the Dolly museum and dinner aboard the yacht starship cruise. How does that sound? That's a good time for you and your bestie. We don't care who you rest he is. We don't care. Your bestie can be anybody. Your mom, your wife, your sister, your childhood friend, just post a picture of the two of you at BOB dot com. And you can win this incredible best Friends Florida fly away vacation. That's BOB, AND, SH, ERI dot com. Well, how are things going where you work, folks? I still haven't figured out how it's going to shake down. Are people going to be able to continue working from home who want to do that? Is it going to be a 50 50 split? Are companies ditching expensive real estate and going to the suburbs? I can't figure it out yet. I think we're still in flux. But I was fascinated by this website where people just posted. What's going on in their workplace? I'm going to read a few of them to you and see if you can relate to any of these. This first person said, and by the way, they submitted this anonymously. I asked my boss for a raise. He said, what for? I told him three different companies are after me. He asks which ones, and I said, gas water and electric. I love that. I just love this. Now, this is very clever of a boss. A friend used to take sales candidates out for lunch. He had an arrangement with his friend who owned the restaurant they were going to eat at. Always had the candidates ought to screwed up. So the person who wants to get the job, it's his daughter's screwed up. And my friend would note how they dealt with it. Either graciously and just ate the food or politely pointed out or get real pissy about it. And that was one of the things that they would use as far as hiring them. What do you think about that? I think it's kind of clever in a way, actually. I think people show you who they are in moments like that. I agree with you. And to your question about full remote or whatever, we have a family member who's just out of school and looking for jobs. And every job has been full remote. Oh, is that right? Specific kind of industry, but yeah, yeah. Every job has been, I was shocked. Everyone. Every position has been full remote, yeah. Now, it could just be the industry or whatever, but it was surprised. Because Wall Street, they're saying, nah, you people got to come back in here. You're making a lot of money on you need to talk to each other, blah, blah, blah. I think some places it's better. If you're interacting, but a lot of jobs, you know, you could do it from wherever you want. The next post, stop glamorizing long hours. This person said, they said, can you explain the gap on your resume? And the response was, can you explain the gap on your staff? That's pretty good. That is pretty good. My manager just asked me if I wanted to take on more responsibility. You know, like more work, leadership, managing your team. I asked if it came with a title bump and a pay raise too. And she said no. I said no, too. Boy, we hear about that all the time in our business, don't we? Take on more. Oh, please. Take on more work. Does it come with any more money? Yeah, about 5 bucks a week. A typical job interview at my company is a conversation between two liars. You know what I mean? How many of us have told the complete truth when being interviewed, right? It's kind of human nature to fudge it a little bit. I remember, I went for a radio job interview when I was in college and they played this really adult music. And I could remember the guy saying, well, do you like Henry Mancini? That's the sort of music we play. And I went on and on about, you know, I'm 19 years old. I got the job. This next post is, your salary is just your company's monthly subscription of you. I never looked at it that way before. Interesting. Is that not an interesting way to look at it? It's you. It's your monthly, it's the monthly subscription of you. That's exactly what it is. Or when you and I are at a different situation, you know, we had contracts, right? It was a subscription. But bob and sherry, that's what it was. That's a very, that's probably a pretty helpful way to look at it actually. I know. Yeah. It's a very clear eyed way of looking at it. It's bob and sherry.

Here is comedian Joe lysette. 'cause I've been in my childhood bedroom most of my life. I've got no stuff got no furniture, the amount of aunties and uncles from a lump coffee tables, mugs. Everyone's got a bloody mug to give you. I got a mug from my auntie, which has got a motivational quote on it. And I hate a motivational quote. The quote is you've got the same amount of hours in the day as Beyoncé. But not the resources Janet. I say it to Peter, so that's bollocks isn't it? He went, yeah, so did Rose West see how that turned out. I was like, that was my issue with the Mac, but you came right down. I've become a bit obsessed with tap because I'm on my local cell and swap Facebook group. If you're not on yours, there will be one in your local area, have a look at it after the show. What it is if you're not familiar with the cell and swap concept, it's people with nothing to do with their lives, trying to sell and swap utter. There was a woman on there the other day, she wanted to swap these sausages. She bought some pauldron vegetarian sausages. She realized they weren't vegan. She wanted to swap them for a bag of fruit. EG plums. I know what fruit is. Don't need an example. What is this fruit? You get on here. Wooden snail, right? Four comments. Who's looking at that gang? I need more information. What is that? I don't know what that is. Unusual unglazed vase. You see unusual. I think someone's wrapped some ham around itself. This wasn't horrible, and I was horrible. This one's particularly bad. I'll zoom in on this one. About a 120 adult DVDs can easily sell for a pound each, so good profit, open your boot at work and let the lads dive in. Beside next to the pickle. Of course I'm trolling this group of course I am with my character Christopher butter slit there he is. It's a drawing I did of Nicki flanagan, they didn't go very well. Then a lot of good work with Christopher. I'm very proud of the work I've done with Christopher, first thing I did, there was a girl she was selling a Jean-Paul Sartre book for four pounds, she'd used it in her dissertation. She needed it no longer. She put it on the cell and swapped. I got in touch with Christopher. I said, just out of curiosity. Could you take a picture of the first page? And because she had nothing to do with her day, but in minutes a picture emerged on the group. So then I put and now the second page. I got to 5 pages before she realized I was trying to read the book through the picture.

"Else for that matter. The people leaving reviews of the podcast on their respective apps, thank you. The people liking on Instagram and TikTok lately, philosophize this podcast one word, been making these one minute philosophy videos, trying to get better at it. Philosophize this dot org for everything else. Now, this is a series I've been looking forward to for a long time. This is episode one on the short but incredible life of Simone Wei. I hope you love the show today. So in the year 1928, a young student by the name of Simone Wei applied to one of the most prestigious universities in the entire world. It was located in France, known for its science and philosophy programs. The school was called the occult no mal superior. Or at least that's how we say it here in America at our philosophy hoedowns that we have. Anyway, if you were a kid and you wanted to be a famous philosopher when he grew up. And for some reason it got into this school, you'd fit right in with the people around you. I mean, tons of famous thinkers went there. You got Jean-Paul Sartre, Jacques derrida, Michel Foucault, more names than anyone out there really cares to hear right now. Point is. It was a pretty competitive school to get into when Simone applied and eventually got accepted. And when she did, she was one of only 11 people that were accepted in her class. Of those 11 people, she was the only woman accepted, and upon completion of the certificate in general philosophy and logic, she scored the highest marks out of anyone that was taken the test at the time, taking first place. Second place it turns out, went to the only other woman who was going for the certificate at the time, her name was Simone de beauvoir. Simone de beauvoir would later write years later about a conversation she had one time with Simone during their time at the school. There was a famine that happened in China in 1928. Lasted a couple years. The two of them were obviously well informed about all that was going on. And you can imagine them standing in the halls of this beautiful school in France with its archways and its artwork and them having a conversation about what the response should be to this famine that's killing millions of people out there.

"So just because they're not thinking about it in that particular moment, they've still prepared themselves for that time crunch when it happens. Now you've immersed yourself in the world of existentialism. How has it changed your life? It has changed my life a lot. Existentialism came into my life. Actually, from an unusual place, I was studying for an MBA. I had learned philosophy in my undergraduate degree, but it was a very analytical philosophy course, so it didn't grab me then. Yeah, in my MBA, I started hearing about Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de beauvoir and heidegger. And I was blown away. I was like, wow, what is this? And it seems to me that they were asking similar questions as I was about life. In particular, how much freedom should you give up to be with another person? I was in a relationship and, you know, navigating choices to be with another person and navigating my career. And especially Simone de beauvoir, really resonated with me at that time because it's exactly what she talked about in the second sex that women in particular are set off on this path, especially geared towards having children and a family and having their career take a back seat to their partners. And I found myself on a similar kind of trajectory. And beauvoir's philosophy helped me reflect on this situation and understand that it wasn't an authentic choice. I knew there was something not right about it, but I didn't have the language or the framework to think through those decisions I was making and so yeah, but what was philosophy really, really resonated with me at that time that I had all these questions.

"So she didn't get married herself, was she saying, in her choices, that this is authentic for her not to get married then. Yeah, it was authentic for her. And what I particularly admire about the choices that she did make was that there was a huge amount of pressure for her to get married and settle down, but she pushed back against that. And even before she met her lifelong partner, Jean-Paul Sartre, she decided that she was going to question all the expectations placed on her. And she chose otherwise and she thought that those choices to choose not marriage, for example, or to make choices other than what's expected of us, is a core part of authenticity. Where do you think this authenticity comes from? It's not as if her choice to be single in her particular way came from nowhere. Yeah, and so this is what makes bourbon's idea of authenticity a little bit different. Is that there isn't some kind of jewel at the heart of our being, some kind of blueprint that we just need to dig deep and uncover, rather bois understanding is a much more existential view in that we don't just have freedom that we are freedom. And where the sum of our actions certainly, so we are what we do, but we're also our intentions and goals. And so what that also means is that we are free and at the core of our being is free will and we should be able to have the options to choose against what's expected of us. That's really interesting what you said in that answer that it's not as if you look within yourself and find a blueprint, because often when people talk about authenticity, they describe this as being true to yourself, as if introspection will reveal what yourself really, really believes as if there's a little book in there somewhere that has the ideal story of your life and then you read from that book and then apply it to the world.
Thank God I'm Atheist
"paul sartre" Discussed on Thank God I'm Atheist
"Faces a more difficult challenge in finding validating others who can join in sort of affirming living through that response. Oh, that's so interesting. Yeah. I can totally see how that could be an issue because it's like we need to find our community and so if we're not in some ways practicing a religious ritual that connects us to our loved one, where do we find the community with whom we can share their stories comfortably? As if they were currently available to us as partners and dialog, we can hear their voices. We can engage them questions. I can ask my mother her perspective on something or feel her comfort at a time of distress 20 years after her death. I mean, that is a very real problem for a lot of, especially atheists who have left a religious tradition, and therefore their family may be a lot of their friends, a lot of their neighbors are not going to understand what they themselves are going through. They all have a built in community. They all have a group that they can go to. And there's a shared language surrounding the problem. But maybe, you know, you've got somebody in the Bible belt who has left their spiritual world, and now they don't have that community. That's what you're doing here, Dan. Constructing the kind of podcast that permits that discourse, the construction of community, you're creating a possibility or of course not to put it on you too strongly. You are part of a process of constructing a post religious community of concern. Yeah. And that's a helpful thing to do. We live in a time where we don't just have a chance to do this with the person who lives next door down the block. We can do it with someone across the world who is asking similar questions and resonating to converging answers. Let me ask you this. If you, if a listener is listening to this, let's just say it's in somewhere in the Bible belt. And they hear that, you know, a need is there for. Communion with other people. Outside of a religious context. But to talk about the deep, difficult things of life. Do you have any recommendations for a way to start that kind of community? You can have a philosophy club, a book club where you read Maurice merleau ponty or Jean-Paul Sartre or whoever you care for Paul tillich inclining a little more religiously. You can certainly find Martin buber figure who's sort of standing one foot in a spiritual tradition one foot in a humanistic one. People can construct all kinds of communities of discourse

John Zmirak Zooms Out of Uvalde to See the Bigger Disturbing Picture
"John, I have to ask you, what's happening in America? It's happened gradually. But we're now at a point where the breakdown of the family, what happened in the 1960s, the breakdown of the family has led to this. In other words, it takes time, but now you have the mother of this shooter is a drug addict is a confused person. There is no father. The 18 year old is deeply disturbed. When we were kids in school, you'd say, well, he's a weirdo. You'd be kind of worried about him or something. They're just something they're not socially fitting in. But now, as you said earlier, it's out of bounds to point that out. It's out of balance and say, something's wrong with that person. Now you have to sort of celebrate their madness. You said it's been cross pressure. I don't know what else was going on. But the point is that you're not allowed to talk about that until he kills 19 children. And then when he kills the 19 children, it's the fault of law abiding gun owners in Wyoming. You see, it is part of a program. These antique family laws were put in place for a reason to break down the family, so that everyone is just an isolated individual, an electron whirling around the nucleus federal government. The goal, the goal of the sexual revolution was always more sexual liberty for wealthy good-looking people, more power for the government and the power of the government will be will be wielded by the aristocrats. The song comes from the Marquis de Sade, a perverted aristocrat who came up with the ideology that became the sexual revolution. Popularized by Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de beauvoir, it is now the official religion of the west

"John's mirror. John, you were just talking about how everybody knew and everybody knows that abortion is wrong. And the Marquis de Sade, one of the most genuinely wicked human beings in history, of whom we have a record. He was dramatically pro abortion. Are we surprised? He argued that women needed abortion so that they could be equally as depraved and detached from the consequences of sex as men. So if women wanted to be happy libertines, the way he considered himself to pursue pleasure at all other costs, regardless of childbearing the needs of the future, the needs of other people, he regarded the ego. And it's a certain of its will. To the only good. The Marquis de Sade considered themselves the liberator of mankind. He was going to free us from Christian morale. Free us from having to care about other people. He was going to free the strong from having to care about the week. Remember, this is someone who for his own sexual amusement would kidnap and torture prostitutes. That's why he ended up in prison. People today pretend that he was imprisoned for his ideas. He was imprisoned as a violent film as a sick, aristocrat, who used his money and power to prey on poor helpless women who were otherwise starving and to physically torture them for his own amusement. His ideas were as close to pure evil as we can imagine. He advocated incest, child rape, child murder. But in his quest to advance pleasure and to free people from Christian morality, he said abortion should be legal. Abortion should be accepted. Abortion is fine. It is the only way for women to be a sexually furry as meant to have the same ability to walk away from the results of their activity to sleep with strangers and walk away. The only way you could do that, that women could be as free as men would be to have abortion widely available. Most people were horrified by this, even the leaders of the French Revolution considered de Sato, a dangerous lunatic. His ideas were revived in the 20th century by Simone de beauvoir. The common law wife with John Paul Sartre. She actually published a book in defense of the Marquis de Sade called must we burn. Must we burn his books? This pretense that she was just speaking up for freedom. But if freedom of the press, but in fact, her book is a defense and a promotion of his ideas and in her book the second sex, she takes decides argument without giving him credit and says that abortion must be legal so that women can be libertines just like men. And she signed with great petition in France that led to its legal proportions, legalization there. So the pro choice movement, via Simone de beauvoir, goes straight back to the satanic rituals and torture fantasies of the Marquis de Sade. It is a direct election. Yes, let's connect the dots here, folks. If you care about women, decide a powerful, wealthy man used his power and his money to torture poor women who had fallen into prostitution. It doesn't get more obviously evil. And this is the man who was arguing for abortion and let's go to Simon de beauvoir in my book is atheism dead. I talk about at the end of his life, Jean-Paul Sartre comes to faith and what's amazing is that Simon de beauvoir was outraged, utterly outraged. You start seeing that there is a satanic animus behind these things. This is not simply like, oh, I'm for free love. There's something deeper and she was so offended. She was absolutely outraged and betrayed that this man who comes to his senses at the end of his life. That he would dare even to voice what he's thinking, that he would be a free thinker. She felt betrayed by him. That's kind of where we are, folks. We're getting clarity here. We're getting spiritual clarity on what is behind some of these things. That's right. And we have to remember that just Jean-Paul Sartre's argument against the existence of God was not a rational. It was not that there wasn't evidence for it. It was not that the arguments didn't point to it. He essentially said, it's intolerable for there to be a God. And for us not to be him. In other words, the human will can not stand the idea of having an omnipotent master. So we must reject him so that we can feel omnipotent in ourselves, which is to serve in heaven. I mean, it's that satanic ego. It is at the very heart of its human pride, which goes all the way back to Eden. It is so dark. It is so evil. That's what we're talking about. In case you're scoring at home, that's right. And that's what we're facing here. One of the two political parties in America. I mean, political parties in America is the party of the Marquis de sa. It's the party of Sartre. It's the party of Margaret Sanger. It's the party of killing the innocent for the sake of our sexual convenience, but really for the sake of our own sense of omnipotence, our own sense of absolute sovereignty over ourselves. And one of the things that helped suppose this, the same people who think a woman should be able to abort her 8 month fetus and insist that even if it survived the abortion that the doctor kill it, because her bodily sovereignty is that absolute. Those same people didn't want to give that woman a choice of our whether or not to have the COVID vaccine. It is madness..

"Now, in the absence of a slam strategic framework and an Islamic normative reference in Islamic intellectual framework, then it is only inevitable in the absence of these frameworks that instead of engaging with the left and the right, we're going to be subordinated to the left and the right. Again, because there is no vision. There is no point of reference. There's no frame of reference and so forth. So I think part of HD had she had that we need today is to begin to think about, okay, what is the identity structure of Islam? What are the commitments of the Muslim? What are the policy preferences? And what are the strategic preferences of the Muslim? And I think if she had, you know, is literally part and parcel part of this process of identifying those commitments and identifying what is strategically in favorable to the Muslim world. Is there anything in closing that you wanted to discuss that we didn't talk yet on this show? Regarding yes, of course, this article is there something that because I really, really want people to read it. After having this backdrop, but this is a really, really, really important article. I think for Muslim, just to understand where they are, you know what I'm saying? Sometimes you don't know that the very framework that we're operating from is not going to bring us any type of progress or what type of progress and what is progress, right? I think essentially what also you're referring to in here is a certain type. Everyone has this need to progress, right? Exactly. So I think one of the key things that we need to reclaim a key, a key. Fact about what it means to be a Muslim, right? Or more so, what it means to be a human being. So human beings are distinguished from other beings because they have the capacity of choice. They have the capacity to choose. So John Paul Sartre, who is a French existentialist when the Germans invaded Paris, he came out with an article which.

"Welcome to the Eric metaxas show with your host. Eric taxes. Alvin, I find myself in Wichita, Kansas. I don't know how this happened, but I'm here. Here's the issue because because it's the launch date today, Tuesday for my new book. I probably never mentioned it. It's called is atheism dead? Yes. And it's a handsome book. It's 400 and something pages, color photos, and you can get it for 45% off. If you go to my website, Eric metaxas dot com scroll down, this is very limited. I don't know how they can do 45% off. I'm not joking. I don't care where you order it from, by the way, but I'm just letting you know. But because today is the launch date, you thought you could interview me about the book. Now, we did that an hour one. We recorded that a couple of days ago. But of course, we didn't scratch the surface. There's so much bizarre stuff in this book. I'm so excited about it that I can't shut up and I apologize. But let me just ask you one of you ask me, you don't even have to ask me questions. You can just comment on what you've read because you've had a lot of interesting observations and I was thrilled as the author to hear you respond to it. No, no, it's just been tremendous. I was reading it on the train in and out of the studio. And then, of course, you went on your book tour. You've just started it basically and today is the big day. By the way, here's what it usually I have a candle in a cupcake and I say congratulation, happy new book, who you happy to. But this one has a black cover. It's about, well, death is atheism dead, and it's kind of rhetorical when you ask the question. It's about life. Yeah. It's about death is dead, then it is life that is alive. But that's a lot. Go ahead. Go ahead. Now, John smear and others have actually brought this out. It's really written in three parts. There's the scientific part about whether you should believe in God or not. And science is continually proving the existence of God, not just like, eh, maybe some nefarious. No, there's a loving God who is a designer and designed this place that we live. Then there's biblical archeology that continually proves that the Old Testament and New Testament. These are not just stories. These are true accounts of what happened in the past. So that proves the God of the Bible, belief in a God of a Bible of the Bible who's a designer and a loving God. And then the last part is just delightful because it's about a previous atheist like Camus and John Paul Sartre and how they came to faith at the end of their lives. And that's incredible because they looked at the evidence and they were open minded. And you said, at the end of the book, and this will be my opening question to you. You said that you can no longer because of the evidence be an atheist, but it's still okay to be an agnostic. So what is the difference between an atheist and an agnostic? I think an atheist is a person that really, for them, it's a philosophy. In other words, they say there is no God and they take this stance against God and they claim that that has to do with reason and their pro reason and anti faith. All of that falls apart when you look at it. It doesn't make sense. It's just kind of an angry, it's like a tattoo. It's like, hey mom, dad, I'm my own man now. I think at some point, you have to go through that. And to the other side and see that even if you don't like people of faith or you don't like what the Bible says, you can be an agnostic and say I have questions. It refers to knowledge, agnostic is to be, without knowledge, to still have questions. I'm not sure, that to me seems respectable and yet what we call atheism, which says I know there's no God or I'm pretty sure there's no gut. I don't think in this day and age, it can make sense. If you look at the evidence, if you don't look at the evidence, I mean, if you read this book, I don't see how you come out an atheist. You may still say, well, I don't like the writer. He's an idiot. I find a lot of stuff in here tenuous. Great. It's a free country. You can think what you like, but to say there's no God once you read the scientific evidence. And by the way, have we played the hue Ross hour yet? We have he's coming up this week. Our office is coming up. You Ross. Says, and this is true. In other words, in my book, I talk about all the evidence coming out from science that makes it less and less possible to fathom that the universe just arose randomly, right? Hugh Ross says, practically every day, every month, more evidence is coming out. And he's on top of this. If you go to reasons to believe, which is his magnificent ministry organization, wow. But he says, it just gets worse and worse and worse and worse. If you are clinging to some idea that science is going to prove there's no God, the opposite has been happening for decades and it's accelerating. So I just think we have to be honest and it gets to the end of the book. I talk about what I call the founding myth of atheism. This battle between Galileo and the church, which when you read that chapter, you realize, that itself is a lie, the way it's been presented is essentially not true. But the bigger issue is that Galileo was a profound Christian who believed that with the scripture says the heavens declare the glory of God. In other words that whatever you study in the heavens or on this earth, it's going to declare the magnificence of the God who created it. And so he's looking through his telescope, he sees, for example, the big issue was that, oh, the planets and the sun are not revolving around the earth. On the contrary, it is we unearth who are traveling around the sun. And he said to people, take a look to the telescope. Don't take my word for it. Look through the telescope. Look at the evidence dare to look at the evidence. Yeah. And people refuse to look through the telescope. And he joked about it at one point, but I feel like people are so dug in. Yeah. Excuse me, people are so dug in. They don't even want to look at the evidence. They just batted away. And I think, well, that's the thing. You're just asking people to keep an open mind. Just keep your mind open to what we're going to present here. That's what you can't prove God on in other words, God himself has to touch a person's heart. So there's a great mystery there. But you can try to understand the fact. It's kind of like if you study math, or science or history, you just want to know what is. And I think people can become so entrenched that they don't want to know what is. They don't want to know the truth of the facts. That's bad. So I want to say to people, I try in the book to present it as fair mindedly as possible. I've discovered three or 5 ridiculous typos, which we have to change. I think I say something crazy like the diameter of Jupiter is 900,000 miles across. It's 90,000 miles across. I think I say something that Pluto has no moons, technically, that's not true. There's a couple of things like that in there, but we're going to fix them in the second duration. But none of that will affect the basics as you'll see. But I say that just so that, you know, when you're rushing a book to print, you miss stuff like this, but I just think the evidence is so overwhelming that I want at least people of faith to acquaint themselves with these facts because it is. It's overwhelming and almost nobody knows this. So I'm a popularizer. I put this stuff in a book to make it easy for your average reader, you know, you don't have to read the books that I read, but you can at least grasp the basics. And I'm telling you, we're living in exciting times right now. This is very exciting that this knowledge has not been known on a popular level. Yeah, you know what? And I don't think this is in the book. I haven't gotten to everything. I'm a few pages from the end believe it or not, but John Paul Sartre, his dying words, apparently recorded by a guy named Pierre Victor. He said this. This is amazing from SARS. He said, I do not feel that I am a product of chance, a speck of dust in the universe, but someone who was expected prepared prefigured, in short of being whom only a creator could put here and this idea of a creating hand refers to God. And that's amazing. Those weren't his dying words, but they were near when he was near death. And he wanted to write this down to make it clear. Yes. That this wasn't the doddering ravings of an old man, but that he had thought this through. But it's more dramatic than I even remembered. When you just read it right now, I thought, that's Jean-Paul Sartre. Yes. Like the idea that he who was this arch atheist philosopher that he wrote this and it made his atheist Friends very angry.

Well, we'll leave that where it is. We were talking before about the story of the woman at the well, and then you shared with great vulnerability, your story about Amy Winehouse. And I want to talk to you about the idea that God speaks today. And there are Christians, many devout Christians who are either uncomfortable made uncomfortable by that subject or they shrink from it or sometimes they push back theologically. It's been my experience that God speaks today. It just as when I read Jesus knows these magic things about this woman, how is that? Well, it's because he is God and even if you're not God, as you are not and I am not, God, through the Holy Spirit speaks. Sometimes, to us, about other people, because he wants to reach them. He wants to blow their minds and say, see, I am real. I'm outside of time and space. I know who you are. I love you. And I want to convince you of that. So you'll receive me. You've experienced this many times. Now, did you experience God speaking to you immediately on coming to faith when you were in university as you put it? Well, I received Christ on the 9th of February 1975 at 10 o'clock. It was the moment I opened the door to use that picture from revelation three 20. Jesus stands at the door and knocks. If you hear the knock, open the door, let him in. And I said, Jesus, I don't even know where this door is. But wherever the door is, can you break the door down and come into my life? And I fell. My mind was illuminated, and my heart was warmed. But I didn't have the vocabulary Eric to articulate what was going on. But I knew something had

Excuse me, people are so dug in. That they don't even want to look at the evidence. They just batted away. And I think, well, that's the thing. You're just asking people to keep an open mind. Just keep your mind open to what we're going to present here. That's what you can't prove God on in other words, God himself has to touch a person's heart. So there's a great mystery there. But you can try to understand the facts. It's kind of like if you study math or science or history, you just want to know what is. And I think people can become so entrenched that they don't want to know what is. They don't want to know the truth of the facts. That's bad. So I want to say to people, I try in the book to present it as fair mindedly as possible. I've discovered three or 5 ridiculous typos, which we have to change. I think I say something crazy like the diameter of Jupiter is 900,000 miles across. It's 90,000 miles across. I think I say something that Pluto has no moons, technically, that's not true. There's a couple of things like that in there, but we're going to fix them in the second duration. But none of that will affect the basics as you'll see. But I say that just so that we know when you're rushing a book to print, you miss stuff like this, but I just think the evidence is so overwhelming that I want at least people of faith to acquaint themselves with these facts. Because it is, it's overwhelming and almost nobody knows this. So I'm a popularizer. I put the stuff in a book to make it easy for your average reader, you know, you don't have to read the books that I read, but you can at least grasp the basics. And I'm telling you, we're living in exciting times right now. This is very exciting that this knowledge has not been known on a popular level. Yeah, you know what?

"In fact, you may be listening to this late and it's over. Now you have to I didn't want you to have to do it. But now you have to order the book. If you waited before midnight tonight, today's Monday, the 18th, at midnight tonight, the book is officially launched. I say this, I try to communicate this effectively. There are things in this book that I have never read in another book. I didn't discover this stuff myself, but I should say I discovered it by reading other books over the years. And there were two things that I discovered one has to do with James tour and the how life came out of non life, which it didn't. And then the idea of the discovery of biblical sodom. Both of these things are incontrovertible. They are staggering pieces of information pointing to the existence of God. Now, I make the argument in the book that atheism really is dead. It's not tenable anymore. It's like it's kind of like, you know, the Japanese people that were in caves on islands in the Pacific and they discovered them in like 1963 still fighting for the emperor. And they said, no, no, the war is over. It's been over for 18 years. It's over. And they said, no, no, no. In other words, if you want to be that person and you just want to keep, you know, fighting for something that it's a free country. You can do what you want. But I'm here to say acknowledge this is about as good as it gets if you want to reject God. And in the book, I describe the details on that. But I really want people who believe or have any modicum of belief to be armed with this information because one of the reasons I wrote the book is because I was stunned, most of this information was not known. I will ask people do you know what the fine tuned university? And they don't know anything about it. I'm thinking, this is amazing. Somehow the secular world has so taken over the secular worldview. Has so taken over the culture that even people of faith have no idea that science has shifted. Science is pointing to the existence of God. Other things, historical facts. The story of atheists themselves, like Christopher Hitchens and Dawkins and Jean-Paul Sartre and Camus, and whatever that when you look at these things now, it's a new day. And you can no longer take pure atheism seriously. I mean, I'm just stating that, you know, you can do what you want, but I don't think it's logically tenable at all. But we need to get the information out. And as I said, because we live in a secular world, when books like this come out, the secular world tends to dismiss it or ignore it. So we really do need your help to launch it. Once it's really launched, it can stand on its own or it'll fall on itself. And that's fine. But for right now, if you can pre order it today, I will say this, if you go to our website, Eric metaxas dot com. It's my name. Eric metaxas dot com. You go to the book link and you scroll down. It is 45% off. You got to scroll down. But it's 45% off. This will not last. This is like a week left, or what is it? Maybe ten days.

Exactly what do you call. Just right thought that i thought that i think you mean indiana jones. That's it. he's a fictional character. So modern apply. I think you'd mean real life indiana jones. I think that's what you're looking for. Let's do this segment over. Forget we're human humans we're on the edge human beings we make we make mistakes. Yeah okay so alvin. Speaking of collins well actually mentioned in a couple of seconds. We're doing our weekly ask. Metaxas segment got some good questions. Yes some some some masterful can handle it. I don't know we'll see stay tuned. Okay but before that. Let me let me tell people. Because i didn't want to say it when i was talking to stephen collins but the the discovery of biblical sodom is just one of the things in my book that when i realized that they've discovered this is legit. This is not like they think you know we always hear. Like andy think they've discovered noah's ark or they think that this is as legit as it gets. I talked all about that. But when i realized that i thought i've got to put this in my book because the world needs to know. Yeah when the world knows that something that happened in seventeen hundred. Abc in the bible. This mythical thing oh no it's history and science proves it. It changes your attitude about faith but there are other things in my book. That i didn't mention when i was talking to stephen collins a few minutes ago for example i talked to dr james tour in the book as the book is launched. I will have dr tour on this program. So we'll talk to him the way we did to dr steven collins but he basically says that as of today 2021 it's been almost seventy years since the famous experiment that universe's chicago where they claim they figured out how life came into being four billion years ago randomly randomly there's a bunch of non-life and suddenly whoop it suddenly becomes a magical living cell. Yeah well we now have the science to say sorry charlie. It doesn't work folks when you read about it when you hear him talk. It's insane. it's in the book another reason. I will beg you to preorder the book but the third thing because the three sections in the book. The first one is science. Second one is biblical archaeology. But the third part of the book. I deal with atheists and that whole thing of what is atheism. Okay i discovered something. I know. i've mentioned this before. But this is so staggering staggering news. And then it becomes infinitely more staggering. That nobody knows this. And then i wonder how by the grace of god do i get to tell the world this. Two of the most famous atheists in the twentieth century. Okay jean-paul sartre albert camus. These are french existentialist philosophers who were struggling publicly with the idea that we are in a world without god. How do we exist. How do we move forward alone in the universe. They struggled more honestly with atheism than almost anybody. The phonies in the in the new atheist movement. Who kind of click their heels like. Isn't it great. there's no god. I hate god. They are very intellectually. Shallow as i say in the book but these two giants struggled with it. They were horrified by it but they said this is the way it is. We've got to go on both of them obviously apart from each other one thousand nine hundred sixty the other around nineteen eighty just before their death came to faith. Nobody knows this. This is blockbuster news. It's like madeline. Marie o'hare came to faith. I mean actually. In her case it's it would just be weird because she was very vicious and grumpy but these were really thoughtful philosophers Anyway i talk about it in the book. I want to get the word out about this. I want the world to know that the people who look most seriously at atheism realized it doesn't work and they come out the other side faith now the fact this wasn't reported on his a little freaky so it's another reason. I hope by publishing the book to get the word out. This is devastating stuff. Please go to eric. Metaxas dot com. The book is very cheap there for preorder it and stay tuned for ask metaxas..

"Interests are in post. Contin european philosophy especially phenomenology and existentialism. So let me ask what to you is existentialism. So it's a hard question. I'm teaching a course on existentialism. Right now you are. I am yeah existentialism in literature and film which is fun I made the traditional thing to say. About what extra centralism is is that it's a movement in mid twentieth century. Mostly french some german philosophy and some of the major figures associated with it are people John paul sartre and camus Samondo beauvoir maybe martin heidegger. But that's a weird thing to say about it because most of those people denied that they were existential and And in fact. I i think it has a Movement that has a much longer history. So when i tried to describe what the core idea of existential is. It's an idea that you find expressed in different ways in a bunch of these people. One of the ways that expressed is that sartre will say that. Existentialism is the view that there is no god and least his form of existential ism. He calls it atheist existential essentials. There is no god and since there's no god there must be some other being around. Who does something like what god does. Otherwise there wouldn't be any possibility for significance in a life and not being as us and the feature of us according to sort and the other existential that puts us in a position to be able to play. That role is that we're the being for whom as sort says it. Accidents precedes essence at. That's the catchphrase for existential ism and you have to try to figure out what it means. What is existence was presence in what is proceeds me. Yeah exactly what does existence was essence and what is precedes and in fact precedes.

Who our enemies today. Because they've changed and who our allies today. They've also changed but what makes us book. Distinctive is not just that. I'm sort of analyzing it from my own vantage point.

"In fact china's image was not really seen by anybody. Except for the gordon. that side. No on simone. Davar and john paul sought they hung around right after the revolution happened to take in the revolutionary spirit and john paul sartre. Sure sir tra- after having some conversations with che guevara he called him like the most complete man in existence a couple years after the revolution when they saw that fidel castro and the entire regime had actually imprisoned an artist that they knew they condemned everything that and fidel castro had done during that time. Saying like you know. The people of cuba do not seem joyous anymore. This is more of a dictatorship. So i think we can include that letter but i think that it's interesting to see the way that john jean paul. Sartre started to think about this man versus how he ended up thinking at least about the impact of the revolution cuba. So this picture. I wanted to tell you about the scene because i wanted you to know exactly. What was the moment that this photo was captured in. So this isn't shave looking off into you. Know some sort of battlefields or any other situation. This is changing about likely looking at gastro are likely looking at the scene of people who are mourning the loss of their loved ones. Also the picture that we know right now is china's image and its isolated. But the picture. The original one had a palm tree to the right side and a random man's face ever so slightly out of focus in profile to the left side. And this is really important because the minute you cropped up picture to isolate check about us face. That is when you take that moment and you separated from history that's when it becomes timeless and that is when it's become something that's transferable something that's easy to photocopy and distribute which is effectively. How we got here to the t shirt. The other key person in this distribution of this image is a man by the name. jim fitzpatrick artists. That meant shed a barn ireland and later came to cuba and visited alburto. Gordon he requested that he give him two copies of his photograph of Jim fitzpatrick took that image. Stylized it and alternate slightly. He put an f. all the way to the right hand side of the image part of chase shirt. If you're not looking for you'll never find it. I didn't wait this for five minutes and so indu doing this. Jim fitzpatrick has effectively. Stolen that copyright. Now this sort of raises the question of whether or not he's ever benefited or profited from it. We don't actually know. I'm willing to bet that he has but this is really important because it was not supposed to have copyright under communist ideals you do not have copyright artists. Don't exist in the same way that you and i maybe understand are still exist. Where credit is given to people when they make stuff..
