Holy Forking Shirt! Neil and Phil Discuss the Afterlife!
Manage episode 307662384 series 2978946
In Episode 7, Neil and Phil take a deep dive into Bart D. Ehrman's Heaven and Hell: a History of the Afterlife. They'll talk about how dualism effects both ideas of heaven and of hell, Biblical concepts of embodiment, pan-psychic notions of consciousness, and more or less spoil the final season of The Good Place (you've been warned!).
In "Should I Really Care About This?" they discuss the nagging question of whether we need courses in composting.
Beers appearing in this episode:
