He grew up non-religious, briefly became a fundamentalist Christian (while also undergoing some personal turmoil), deconstructed and fully left that, spent a year or two severely critiquing arguments for Christianity, but as of recent he's now tentatively calling himself a Christian again but isn't sure it's *literally*…

What are "boundaries?" How do you define what's inside and outside your boundaries? For Christians, is it "Christ-like" to have boundaries and in what way should you hold them if so? These are the sort of things I was trying to wrap my head around when discussing this topic. Here's the original blog post: https://www.robertlwhite.net/life/boundarie…

I had the pleasure of hosting an informal discussion between theologian and apologist Randal Rauser and The Counter Apologist, a prominent atheist/skeptic blogger, about the evidence for Jesus' resurrection. Near the end, I even got to take my moderator hat off for a second and have a bout with CA for twenty minutes or so. Here is my post-discussio…

In this episode, I take a break from the main sequence of epistemology and instead give some advice to Christians who are currently deconstructing their faith.

I had the distinct pleasure of debating my friend, Brandon Bartlett, about philosophical theories of justice this past Saturday night. Brandon has a degree in philosophy and was a debate champion in high school, so he was definitely up to the task. Does a person have to be punished for justice to be served? What is forgiveness then? What exactly ha…

I chatted with one of my favorite authors tonight, so I rode my high straight into recording a podcast about theories of justice, the Atonement, books by an ex-Evangelical pastor turned atheist, and more! I referenced some Greg Boyd videos about the Atonement -- the links are below. They are each quite short. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAlPPz1…

In this first edition of RIAA, I have the pleasure of chatting with Ryan Price, a thoughtful skeptic I encountered through comments on my blog posts. We had a substantive, friendly discussion ranging from what we value in the other "side," free will, consciousness, and we even discussed our thoughts on the prominent Christian apologist William Lane…
