    On this Sunday Morning Live on 15 March 2026, Stefan Molyneux uncovers the devastating link between Christianity and child abuse, exposing how the doctrine of forgiveness shields abusers while Christians stood idly by in his own painful experiences. He breaks down the parental fiction of "Look what you made me do!"—that ancient religious reflex to blame innocent children for adult sins—and demands true accountability over endless absolution. Through raw caller stories, he champions justice for kids, parenting rooted in empathy rather than original sin tyranny, and a fearless moral reckoning to shatter the illusions protecting religious communities.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

    In this Friday Night Live stream on 13 March 2026, Stefan Molyneux connects the conflict with Iran to what he sees as lingering superstition within Christianity, arguing that irrational beliefs continue to shape political decisions and international aggression. Callers raise questions about holding governments accountable and the foundations of morality, which leads into a discussion of Trump's foreign policy record and its militaristic tendencies. He stresses the importance of bringing personal values into consistent alignment with behavior, placing heavy emphasis on individual responsibility, and invites listeners to explore his work on a universal, reason-based ethics as an alternative to faith-driven politics. The conversation moves between immediate geopolitical tensions and broader philosophical principles.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

    As we approach the Ides of March on this Friday the 13th, the boundary between ancient ritual and modern warfare has dissolved. In this episode, we expose how global war planners are operating less like diplomats and more like occultists, aligning military strikes like Operation Epic Fury with cosmic "syncromysticism." From the "3/3 3:33" portal and the Worm Moon eclipse in Virgo to the biblical breaking of the "Bow of Elam" (Iran) in Jeremiah 49, the world is being pushed toward a scripted eschaton. We dive deep into the theology of the Seven Mountains Mandate, the rise of Christian Zionism within the Trump administration, and the chilling reality of leaders attempting to "force the hand of God" to usher in the End Times. Is this a cosmic coincidence, or a manufactured Armageddon? We explore the death of the moral compass and the terrifying intersection of nuclear buttons and prophetic fulfillment. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

    Stefan Molyneux takes up several listener questions and works through them using his framework of Universally Preferable Behavior. He defends a fully rational basis for ethics that stands apart from any religious foundation, while still making space for humility—especially when dealing with hostile or trolling responses in discussion. He examines how personal virtue connects to genuine love, looks at the way modern society handles crime and justice, and wrestles with the conflict that arises between faith and reason inside Christian thought. Toward the end he turns to the practical side of ideological disagreements, showing how they strain or even break personal relationships and offering ways to approach those tensions with clearer moral reasoning and calmer, more rational conversation.Questions:I think of UPB as an Aristotelian proof of morality (which also implies God).

    Should everyone be treated equally?Many see populism with its focus on immigration and nationalism as not only politically dangerous but morally wrong. This reflects the universalist morality of the main Western moral frameworks. But critics argue moral universalism generates a case for favouring strangers over the interests of those close to us and that it is profoundly mistaken. In contrast, Chinese Confucian morality accepts partiality towards our nearest. Recent studies have shown that we do in practice favour those close to us, and moreover that we think we are morally right to do so.Alain de Botton is the best-selling philosopher and founder of The School of Life, an organisation dedicated to developing emotional intelligence through philosophy, psychotherapy, and culture. Seyla Benhabib is one of the most influential political philosophers of her generation and is the author of At the Margins of the Modern State.

    What if humanity's capacity for cruelty was actually one of our greatest moral achievements? That's just one of the provocative ideas philosopher Hanno Sauer explores in this conversation about his book The Invention of Good and Evil with EconTalk's Russ Roberts. Sauer tackles a fundamental puzzle: in a Darwinian world of selfish genes, how did humans become so extraordinarily cooperative? Sauer traces a fascinating journey from small hunter-gatherer bands to modern civilizations, revealing surprising mechanisms along the way--including the systematic killing of the most aggressive tribe members over millennia, which made humans the "golden retrievers of the primate kingdom." The conversation ranges from whether agriculture was history's worst mistake, to a spirited debate about religion and morality between Sauer (a German atheist who doesn't know any believers) and host Russ Roberts (a person of faith living in Israel).

Since Charles Darwin's 1859 book On the Origin of Species, evolution has been considered by many to be the final nail in the coffin of religion.Because evolution is supposedly random - or indeed, blind - the argument follows that there is no design.But recently, a quiet revolution has been raging among the top tier of evolutionary scientists.The apparent randomness of evolution has come into question, and some experts now suggest there may be patterns, agency, and even intention behind it all.FOR FULL SHOW NOTES - click here.CREDITSUndeceptions is hosted by John Dickson, produced by Kaley Payne and directed by Mark Hadley. Alasdair Belling is a writer-researcher.Siobhan McGuiness is our online librarian. Lyndie Leviston remains John's wonderful assistant.  Santino Dimarco is Chief Finance and Operations Consultant. Peter Kozushko is our North American representative and a point of contact for church pastors interested in engaging with our work here at Undeceptions.  Editing by Richard Hamwi.Our voice actor today was Dakotah Love. Special thanks to our series sponsor Zondervan for making this Undeception possible. Undeceptions is the flagship podcast of Undeceptions.com - letting the truth out.

In this episode, he dives deep into how we can transform even life's most challenging experiences - from loss and suffering to extreme adversity - into opportunities for growth, meaning, and purpose.Dr Demartini explains why rigid moral labels like “good” and “evil” can trap us in black-and-white thinking and limit our adaptability. Using insights from neuroscience, human behavior, and decades of work helping thousands of people worldwide, he shares how we can access the brain's executive center to respond rather than react, find balance in life's opposites, and become masters of our own destiny.If you want to move beyond victimhood, expand your awareness, and discover how challenges can unlock hidden potential, this episode is a must-listen.This content is for educational and personal development purposes only.

    Stefan Molyneux takes calls on 4 March 2026's Wednesday Night Live and presses into whether philosophy actually matters in real life, arguing that it serves as the only reliable path to moral truth. He challenges the idea that personal feelings or subjective beliefs can stand on their own, insisting instead on objective reasoning as the foundation. The conversation moves through memory, consciousness, and what it means to be genuine in relationships, pushing callers to examine their ethical obligations and the deeper contradictions that shape human behavior.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

    What happens to morality when the old rules no longer work? For many of us raised in Evangelical or fundamentalist Christianity, ethics once felt clear: follow God's commands, trust the Bible, and do the right thing. But when that framework begins to fall apart, moral decision-making can suddenly feel confusing ... even frightening. In this episode of the What If Project, I'm joined by Dr. Scott Gelfand, author of Thinking Ethically: A Handbook for Making Moral Choices, to explore what it means to think ethically after certainty and obedience. We talk about why moral choices so often live in gray areas, how ethical frameworks can help, how we (as a whole) are much more similar than we are different, and how the Political System we have built thrives when we are divided. This conversation is especially for those navigating deconstruction or life after faith — and who are trying to rebuild a moral framework rooted in humility, compassion, and responsibility. What if ethics isn't about the certainty of one side being right and the other being wrong, but about learning how to live well together in the gray?

    Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Harrison Garlick and Dr. Jessica Hooten Wilson of Pepperdine University discuss cantos 13-17 of Dante's Purgatorio--the purging of envy and wrath. Check out our 51 question and answer guide (35 pages!) to the Purgatorio. Check out our YOUTUBE page which has our episodes in playlists!Dr. Jessica Hooten Wilson joins Deacon Harrison Garlick to discuss Cantos 13–17, covering the terraces of envy (Canto 13) and wrath (Cantos 14–17), with a strong focus on the central discourses in the middle of the Comedy. In Canto 13, the envious have their eyelids sewn shut with iron wire, a contrapasso that forces them to rely on others and recognize interdependence. Wilson explains: “envy is to look cross-eyed on another's blessings... to look askance,” and the disembodied voices proclaim examples of generosity (Cana, “I am Orestes,” “Love them from whom you've suffered evil”), teaching a mindset of abundance over scarcity (Dr. Jessica Hooten Wilson). Sapia humbly confesses her envy and malice, contrasting with the divisive souls in Inferno.Cantos 14–15 transition to wrath, with visions of meekness (Mary and Joseph seeking Jesus, a tyrant sparing a youth, Stephen forgiving his stoners) and Virgil's discourse on goods: exhaustible earthly goods versus inexhaustible spiritual ones. Wilson notes: “envy stems from a mindset of scarcity versus Mary's mindset of abundance... able to supply where it looks like there's not enough in the world” (Dr. Jessica Hooten Wilson). The pivotal Canto 16 (the exact midpoint of the Comedy) features Marco Lombardo's sermon on free will: “If the present world has gone astray, the cause is in you, look at yourselves” (Marco via transcript). Wilson calls it “the clearest sermon that Dante has about what's wrong with the world,” emphasizing that sin arises from misused free will, not fate or stars, and critiques the separation of temporal and spiritual powers.Canto 17 concludes the wrath terrace with Virgil's discourse on love as the root of all action (“Neither Creator nor creature was ever without love... natural or of the mind” – Virgil via transcript), which can be misdirected, deficient, or excessive. Wilson highlights the shift from reason to grace: “reason can't do it alone... you need this other kind of intervention” (Dr. Jessica Hooten Wilson). The cantos underscore Purgatorio's hopeful pedagogy: purgation reorders love through grace, habituation, and contemplation, moving from misdirected to deficient love in preparation for the excessive attachments above. Wilson stresses the urgency: “the Purgatorio shows humanity in motion, dynamic humanity... it has the immediacy... that is an urgency to it” (Dr. Jessica Hooten Wilson).Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Great Books Podcast04:06 Exploring Dante's Purgatorio07:20 The Great Books Program at Pepperdine University10:18 The Significance of Purgatorio13:27 Understanding Envy in Purgatorio16:17 Contrary Virtues: Generosity and Kindness19:22 The Role of Sight and Blindness in Envy22:15 Dante's Moral Lessons on Envy25:14 Comparative Analysis with Inferno30:33 Dante's Poetic Structure and Contrapasso32:15 Comparative Analysis of Characters in Inferno and Purgatorio33:54 The Role of Good and Bad Examples in Moral Education34:14 The Shift from Temporal to Eternal Mindsets34:20 Understanding Canto 14: The Importance of Examples39:35 Canto 15: The Inquiry into Goods and Wrath49:58 Canto 16: The Purging of Wrath and Examples of Virtue51:35 Ecstatic Visions and Penitent Souls52:19 The Tyrant's Moment of Virtue53:28 Humanity in Purgatorio54:38 The Role of Mary in Purgatory56:02 Saint Stephen's Example of Forgiveness57:12 Virgil's Limitations as a Guide59:12 The Nature of Freedom in Purgatory01:03:07 The Importance of Canto 1601:04:37 Understanding Freedom in Dante's Context01:07:32 The Role of Law and Governance01:14:39 Self-Reflection and the State of the World01:23:48 Exploring Wrath in Purgatory01:30:57 Understanding the Structure of PurgatoryKeywords: Dante's Purgatorio, Cantos 13-17, spiritual growth, virtues and vices, education, great books, Dante analysis Dante's Divine Comedy, Purgatory, Virtues and Vices, Free Will, Theology, Morality, Literature, Catholic Teaching, Spiritual Journey

    If You Burned Every Bible, You'd Still Be Stuck with Jesus — Here's Why What if someone destroyed every Bible ever printed? Would the case for Jesus disappear with them? Cold-case homicide detective J. Warner Wallace — author of Person of Interest and Cold Case Christianity — argues the answer is a definitive no. In this compelling episode of Come Let Us Reason Together, Wallace applies the same investigative technique he used to solve decades-old murders to one of history's most contested questions: who was Jesus of Nazareth, and does the evidence demand a verdict? Using what he calls the "fuse and fallout" method — examining what happened before and after an event when the event itself leaves no direct evidence — Wallace traces the historical shockwave of Jesus's life through science, art, music, education, and world religion. What he found surprised even him.

So instead, people dress it up as “what's right” or “what's fair.” You see this all the time in politics and leadership. I break down how to spot the power move behind the moral talk and how to stay emotionally detached so you don't get pulled in. Show Notes: [02:32]#1 Morality is a substitute for insufficient authority. [13:50]#2 Morality is applied selectively, not universally. [18:04]#3 Moral language shifts disputes from outcome based to character base.  [21:25]#4 Judges of morality control the entire chessboard if you allow them to be the judge.  [23:28]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2400: Framing In Conversations: The Tools [1/2] 2401: Framing In Conversations: The Tools [2/2] Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught.

    Many of the world's most influential intellectuals have argued that morality can stand apart from God, yet the Epstein scandal — touching figures across science, finance, politics, and royalty such as Prince Andrew — has challenged that confidence. Kevin and Danny explore how elite claims of moral autonomy collide with the reality of conscience and accountability.
