Dumitru Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hi guys, I've listened to a podcast a while ago where Stef talked about the worship of gods, and whether that is because they are virtuous or because they have power. It's title is not exactly on this topic, or maybe this was the ever present tangent It's probably an early-ish one, below 1500 I'm guessing. Little help please? Thanks!

Mister Mister Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I think it is partially related to the Socratic dialogue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthyphro_dilemma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xdreamist Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I don't know if this recent video is what reminded you of the podcast you're thinking of (not sure either, sorry) - but the recent discussion with a Christian below reminded me of what convinced me to leave the religion of my parents: The acceptance that Christianity (and by extension other religions) is ultimately "Might is Right". (Supposed Creative Power = Over-ride of all basic ethical principles.) From the question around 16:40 on, specifically mentioned at around 40:40.

K.o.t.H. Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 The subject comes up quite a bit in the podcasts but I can't find the one I was looking for. Not sure if this helps but have you checked out Podcast 41? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
