Why be a Christian? (ATT #29)

Meet Brandon Dayton, the graphic novelist behind Green Monk which I did a symbolic analysis series on. We talk about his motivations behind the Green Monk story and his story writing process as well as his background growing up Mormon and how that effected his story writing. We also talk about the symbolism series, why it's important to tell stories, and how that relates to Christianity.

ATT, your catalyst to deeper thinking.ATT channel update,I totally screwed up the recording in this one (*technical explanation for nerds* I pressed in the PAD for my microphone by accident probably when moving the audio interface, this reduces the sound for one mic by about 20db, I couldn't just bring that mic up in post because a was streaming the processed audio to obs in mono. So when trying to fix it with post processing it inevitably introduced distortion, otherwise you wouldn't have heard me at all! and Ben would have been extremely loud)0:00 Intro0:22 Property Pastors1:11 VidGaze4:53 Zambia7:00 Creative focusATT is a Christian podcast that contains elements of philosophy, general in depth discussion, and religion, portrayed in a way to hopefully interest the viewer in such things as well as better their lives and those around them, however small it may be.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/accessory-to-thought/donations

ATT, your catalyst to deeper thinking.We talk with Kyle Morrison, a PhD student in the realm of Zoology and Meta-analysis. We try to see eye to eye about morality, we try to come at it from the perspective of applied morality, as abstract concepts of morality don't really affect much in how you live your life. For example, what worldview allows us to apply morality more effectively? Kyle suggests that we should simply use science and to disregard the beliefs of our ancestors, as science can evolve and adapt over time, this would give us a "science of morality", were we can deduce what we ought to do from "facts about human well-being". Is this a tenable stance? Or are our ancestors not as stupid as modern man is so quick to believe? And is an abundant life, with all our needs met, to be able to live with ease, a life worth living? Where does meaning come in? And how does this relate to the notion of "Faith"?ATT is a Christian podcast that contains elements of philosophy, general in depth discussion, and religion, portrayed in a way to hopefully interest the viewer in such things as well as better their lives and those around them, however small it may be.Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/AccessoryToThoughtInstagram - accessory_to_thoughtSupport us - https://app.redcircle.com/shows/cbed92c2-4c7c-48d6-922b-dff8e87c3736/donationsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/accessory-to-thought/donations
