Listen again and again.
I've been listening to this program for decades and saved and studied many episodes. The latest; Samuel Lebens on Jewish Philosophy is going to be saved and studied as well. I can think of no other program that has presented such excellent existential inquiry for so long. Congratulations and thank you.

Demons & angels episode
I’m as gobsmacked as Robert. This Dr trying to say children in Africa see angels. Yeah, while eating dirt & the flies are swarming. Maybe from being delusional from malnutrition. Cant wait to listen to the rest! Whatever you find comfort in👌🙄

Jesus is God Yes he certainly is. How can I say
That. Well, I Think it is part of a quote from Billy Graham ( I hope I spelled that right) First Let explain my Doctorate degree. I went to a Jesuit University in Connecticut at the age Of seventeen. I flunked out in the first year as a result, which I believe today was alcoholic drinking . One of the courses I flunked was Theology . The Doctoral degree is actually pending LOL. Back to the words that I believe was a quote from Reverend Billy Graham was and I might Be paraphrasing: “ Don’t let anyone tell you about God, find out for yourself. You will know By the gentle tugs on your heartstrings that he is real. So with that in mind and the little biblical knowledge that I had, I remember hearing “Seek and you will find” well where am I going to find Jesus! I had been in several mental institutions and I remember the situation where there was a man who was smiling and he told two men In the hospital, “well, one of you is lying “ Then I realized why he was smiling: Both Men were claiming to be Jesus. I was very sure that neither one was Jesus. My continued search to find Jesus led me to The Catholic Christians I had learned on my Journey that Catholics actually believed in a thing called Transubstantiation ( I had to look Up the spelling ) it was doctrine that their priests were ordained with the gift to change bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus. I can imagine how many people would Be thinking “ are these people crazy “ I was now researching on my own and learning about people called saints and reading the Bible learning about this man called Jesus. I figured out that Christ was not his last name. That information gave me knowledge to respond to golfers I played with, when they would blaspheme with the name Jesus Christ. I could respond with if you are going to blaspheme the name of God, Why don’t you get it right. Jesus is the Christ , Christ is not his last name. In my search I found out nobody ever called him Jesus while he walked this earth and I couldn’t Find anywhere that he said “I love you”. I found Out that he asked someone if they loved him. In fact he repeated it three times. The piece of Information that I found most helpful for myself was he was like us in every way except sin. I could take my own inventory and separate issues of lust and pride selfishness,judgemental Opinions everything that I considered disobedience to what I believe God expected of Me and when I did I was left with my own personal feelings. That was helpful to me because when I identified my feelings I realized That Jesus had felt in his own lifetime. The biggest revelation to me was when he said on the cross “Father why have you abandoned me?” He was questioning his father he was doubting and I wanted to know. It wasn’t a misquote or a translation error. Then I realized He said that just for us to hear and brought my thinking back to where I started. He was like us in every way but seen. He experienced the abandoned to fulfill the words “like us in every way but sin. Jesus experienced abandonment Just so no human being could ever say you don’t know what it feels like to be abandoned. I want to simplify my journey. If you want to find Out if Jesus is God all you have to do is humbly ask him and the key words humbly ask. Go to any Catholic Church and during the mass when The priest raises the host and says this is Jesus Or if they have hours of adoration where the host which Catholics call the Eucharist is set In a special metal container with a glass front which is called a monstrance If anyone asks , I mean anyone . Catholic , Protestant, Muslim Hindu Jew even a self proclaimed atheist. are you Jesus, Are you really God, are you truly present right any question asked humbly he will give you the answer. He will give you the truth because he is the Truth. He cannot lie he cannot deceive or be deceived. I cannot tell you at what time you will get the answer. some will get it immediately some may get their answer a week or a month after and some it might be many years but I can tell you this before your death you will Absolutely know for sure who he is. My journey Took many years and I witnessed many miracles along the way. To me miracles to God are like another day at the office My belief today is is: I would bet my soul for eternity that Jesus is God and is truly present in the consecrated host called the Eucharist by devoted Catholics. Just an after thought wagering my soul regarding the Eucharist is the easiest wager I could make because every thing I have learned loved and breathed in my mind body heart and soul is just nonsense and all my brothers and sisters who shed their blood rather than deny Their Lord and Savior Jesus were fools and all the talk of they were.known as Christians by their love is just one big lie.

The way these conversations should go.
I don’t remember when I stumbled upon this podcast, but it must have been while searching for anything similar to Conversations from the Pale Blue Dot (also a good short lived one). Rationally Rationally Speaking is also fair too. Out of all of them, this one is by far the most well formatted, recorded, and insightful. The conversations are rich, profound, and respectful in the way any debate should go, as there are times when any other typical layman would get their fuse lit, the host and guest both remain steadfast to dignified exchange. This podcast reminds me of what “Nature of Existence” documentary would be in audio form. This hits the frontal lobe right where it needs it.

Best ever?
I have been following this TV show since the late 1990s. The host and guests are highly intelligent (on this excellent podcast and the TV show). It is about deep philosophy, science, God, future, human behavior, society, ethics, conciousness, and so much more. This is a professional show, not amateur hour. The guests are very credentialed.

Welcome to Godcast
Not a bad podcast, though I do wish the description was more honest. This show seems to mainly focus on God and religion.

Very interesting ...
Caught this on PBS the other day and it was really interesting and compelling. Had to see more so I looked for it on the web and in iTunes. Lots of ideas that are not commonly talked about in normal academia, literature. science, etc. Really wonderful - stimulating and though-provoking.
