In this episode, Kevin and I discuss the issue of free will, the evidential problem of evil, the nature of character traits, the contours of agency, and much more.
Great point about Pascal's Wager. I've been arguing that point (that it only holds true if all forms of theism are fungible for the purpose of afterlife assignment) since I learned about it from Gregg Easterbrook's TMQ column a decade ago, and you are the only other person I've come across who has mentioned that. I've seen it used often as a 'gotcha' essentially because "there's math," even though the premise is absolute garbage.
