Episode Synopsis

In the third episode of our season on the question of God, Ryan unpacks the profound implications of both worldviews: a theistic worldview and an atheistic worldview—demonstrating why this question is truly the question of all questions."Nihilism is the necessary effect of atheism as its primary cause. Nietzsche himself understood this, in part because he was a real atheist, as opposed to a nominal one—and real atheists are nihilists by definition. Nietzsche had the courage to be a real atheist; he had the courage to embrace the natural nihilistic implications of atheism. In this sense, he deserves our respect, but he mostly deserves our respect because he is a creation of the living God."About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.
