One of Inspiring Philosophy’s objections to the argument from divine hiddenness relies on a deep misunderstanding of the argument. I offer correction here: youtu.be/breS8JOHBi8?si=Wswi…

For a good rejoinder to this (and other objections to Hiddenness) be sure to check out the series on J.L. Schellenberg's Hiddeness argument by @justinschiebs here: youtube.com/watch?v=breS8JOH…
Why is God hidden rather than obvious?

Over the past week since the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk, we’ve watched conservatives unabashedly take ownership of “cancel culture” and crack down on free speech right before our eyes. jacobin.com/2025/09/kirk-ass…

the "free speech on campus" crowd has gone oddly silent since Palestine became the issue students wanted to speak out about most
Florida State University has expelled the American student Eden Deckerhoff over an incident in which she confronted a Zionist student wearing an Israeli occupation army shirt on campus.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Eden Deckerhoff was charged with battery based on a video of this confrontation. Battery is not protected speech. wtxl.com/downtown-talla…

If all shes concerned with is finding extremely loose and meaningless correlations, she need look no further than Taco Bell’s initial release of the Cheesy Gordita Crunch.
You know what didn’t have in the 90’s? Active shooters at schools. You know what else we didn’t have? Transgender for everyone. Don’t tell me there’s no correlation

A quick reminder that demons who crawl up walls and disgraced Christian philosophers who challenge interlocutors to MMA fights are the only serious things. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Radiometric dating, geology, and astronomy all independently show Earth is ~4.6B years old. Genetics, fossils, and biogeography confirm universal common ancestry. Young Earth Creationism contradicts overwhelming evidence from multiple scientific fields. m.youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Sympathetic. It’s not a subject I’ve studied in depth nor has it been one in which I’ve been particularly interested. While I think a 6,000 year old earth is unlikely (12-13,000 is better), theistic evolution has a lot of problems.

We hold a weekly “book club” online where we read a short paper on philosophy or biblical studies every Tuesday. Starting today, I’m going to begin to offer some important takeaways from our readings. This week’s reading was “Naturalism” by Graham Oppy (2024) 🧵 1/7

This is a confused For starters, when one loves another, one doesn’t seek out excuses to prevent the possibility of personal relationship. They instead seek out opportunities to preserve that poss. See conceptions of love that don’t question-beggingly assume a loving God exists
What if there are nonresistant nonbelievers, but God allows them to continue to be nonbelievers because of an attachment to some other sin?

Those more theologically sensitive among us will know that both the Hornet and Mantis will, from the vantage point of an afterlife, come to thank God for the opportunity to express the virtues of bravery and self-giving charity respectively.
Hornet eating a praying mantis that's eating a hornet. This food chain is wild 🤯

Reductionism about testimony is typically associated with Hume and, for that reason, it is often assumed that his argument against the believability of miracles on the basis of testimony relies on such a view. But that’s silly. Go home.

Sometimes I wonder why the good and loving God had not modulated the number of offspring from nonhuman animals according to resources available. Then I forget that such natural sorting through competition is the good and loving God’s preferred creative medium.

When Jesus - the famous pomologist - said “You shall know them by their fruits”, he obviously didn’t mean that one can discern the general character of a person by how they behave. He was literally just talking about how to tell which fruit trees are healthy.
