Episode 6, Why Clone Anything at All? Part 2 of the David Barrass Interview

Does God have empathy, or emotions? If God lacks empathy, then it might seem like God is a psychopath, and the love of a psychopathic God seems less than desirable. However, if God has empathy, then God feels everything that you feel. But wouldn't that mean that God feels horny? That makes God kind of creepy.  In today's episode, R.T. Mullins sits down with the Uke of Edinburgh, Ms. Lins McRobie. They discuss different conceptions of God called impassibility and passibility, and consider objections to each view. And if you are lucky, Lins might just play a song for us on her ukulele.
