Ben Burgis invokes the Euthyphro problem to argue that the existence of a God is not necessary for one to be moral. He also tries to get Pastor Douglas Wilson to do the Descartes "evil demon" thought experiment, but is faced with major resistance.

Going on This is Revolution to talk a little Hitchens (and maybe a little Charlie Kirk). TiR's episode description: Christopher Hitchens was once the darling of the political left. After dalliances with Trotskyism at Oxford University, he emerged as a titan of left-wing journalism both in Great Britain and, later, in the United States. During the 1980s, he deployed his acerbic wit to critique the American empire to great effect. He also played the role of an iconoclast, writing exposés on public figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to Mother Theresa. However, in the final years of his life, his politics seem to have metamorphized as he emerged as a supporter of the War on Terrorism and George W Bush’s imperial misadventure in Iraq. What shaped Christopher Hitchens’s political journey? How and why did he end up on the side of the neoconservative project? And how might we understand his legacy?
