Brandon McGuire interviews Trent Horn on the Obstacles to Belief in God
Brandon McGuire is another interesting young podcaster (Daily Dose of Wisdom podcast). He comes from a Christian perspective, but no particular denomination as far as I know. Trent Horn comes from a Catholic perspective and has some interesting observations in general on the rational argument for belief. It seems to me that individual religious experience is growing, even while church attendance is plummeting. Joe Rogan talks about this a lot. Before the experience, belief in God seems illogical, but after the experience, belief in God seems completely logical and fully explanatory of the human condition. As a young person, I was a fully convinced Darwinian atheist, but one night, I opened my mind just a chink to the possibility of God and He immediately rushed in, and I have gradually grown in God-consciousness, or a personal relationship with God if you will, ever since. For me, it only took a “maybe” or a “what if?” These young men give me great hope for the future. The high-water mark of materialism was reached some time ago and now the tide has definitely turned.
