126. In the Car with Dogs (on the Nature of Animals)
This episode examines the question of Animal Natures. What is an animal? How are the beasts different from humans? Can animals feel pain? Do animals have self-awareness or self-consciousness?

What is Faith? This episode begins a mini-series of episodes on the Theological Virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love.

In this episode, I discuss some of my thoughts on apologetics (giving a defense for one's faith), and how to do this "irenically" (peacefully).

He has had a presence on YouTube for quite awhile, often doing irenic apologetics applicable to inter-Christian dialogue (mainly between Protestants, Catholics, and Eastern Orthodox).

In this episode, we continue our discussion on human nature (see Ep. 118 for the previous part) by focusing particularly on our bodies.

118. What is Human Nature?
In this episode we discuss my view of human nature, and specifically the relationship between the soul and the body. The council of Vienne defined that the soul is "the form of the body." The 5th Lateran Council clarified the above definition and said that the soul is the form of the body, but that it is also "immortal."

113. Social Issues - Homosexuality
In this episode we discuss the social issue of Homosexuality. NOTE: While it is (strictly-speaking) not sinful for two persons of the same sex to live together, as long as they do not act out sexually with each other -- even if they had been in an erotic relationship previously -- it very well may be the "near occasion of sin." In which case, it would not be PRUDENT for the two persons to live under the same roof. "Lest the dog return to his vomit" (Proverbs 26:11). This situation would need to ...

109. Social Issues - Gun Control
In this episode, we discuss the social issue of Gun Control. I am still working out my exact view on this issue, but it seems to me that there are three (3) main principles regarding Gun Control: 1. People have a right to defend themselves. 2. Someone who cannot properly and safely use a gun should not be allowed to use/own one. 3. Guns used for farming, hunting, etc. should always be allowed for human survival and flourishing. —-------------------------------------------------------------------...

108. Social Issues - Immigration
In this episode we discuss the controversial (at least in many Western nations) social issue of "Immigration." We go over my opinion on this issue, which hinges in how I see human beings as having three (3) main rights: 1. The Right to Life 2. The Right to Dignity 3. The "Potential" Right to Thrive The first two (2) of these rights (to life and dignity) can never be forfeited or taken away. The third right (to thrive) can be either forfeited or taken away, if the person poses a threat to themsel...

This episode looks at the social issue of suicide. While suicide is often discussed in an emotionally-charged context (as it should be, in most cases), we discuss the issue by taking a step back and looking at it from a philosophical, detached perspective. Please take this episode for what it is: a look at suicide from a "purely" rational perspective. —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Website: www.cat...

104. Social Issues - Abortion & Personhood
This episode is quite philosophical, so buckle up!

We also discuss my concept for how human beings are different from other types of life -- which many may find interesting. —---...
