Original Episode Here: https://youtube.com/live/nX7OTZqVn_E
A caller named Maverick attempts to argue that moral knowledge proves God exists, focusing on the example that torturing infants for fun is wrong. Matt and Paul agree this action is wrong but explain their view that morality is based on goals and consequences rather than divine command. When asked to clarify his position or engage with other moral scenarios, Maverick repeatedly deflects questions as "off topic," leading to increasing frustration. The hosts point out that sharing a moral conclusion doesn't mean sharing the same moral foundation, and that Maverick's unwillingness to discuss specific examples makes it impossible to evaluate his moral system. The call ends with Matt explaining why Maverick's approach is problematic using an analogy about purple unicorns.
