On this episode, Pastor Jay Lee dives into the topic of good and evil. He touches on the difficult question of whether the existence of evil means God is not all-knowing, all-powerful, all-present, or all-good. But he turns the question around, and discusses whether those who do not believe in God can defend the reality of good and evil without an authoritative source of morality. Jay also discusses the ethical dilemmas raised by a morality that is defined by what benefits the greater good, but at the expense of a smaller minority, and whether utilitarian principles can truly define good and evil and how Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos might not be too happy with that.
