Dr. Matthew Benton came on the podcast to school me on the epistemology of disagreement, the particular cases of religious disagreement, and we even get into the simulation hypothesis. Find

We also get into lots of other topics in the philosophy of mind. Check the chapters to see the full range of what we cover. Find more from Dr. Dolores Morris here:

This argument seems to entail that there are three Gods. Again, Trinitarians affirm
