Irenicast - A Progressive Christian Podcast
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
What is truth? The co-hosts take on the little topic of truth. Capital “T” truth? Lowercase “t” truth? You decide. Given that none of us expected 2020 to bring a pandemic lockdown, it makes sense that Irenicast would quarantime to boldly enter a crisis of truth and reality. What can we claim to know as true? The conversation begins with an attempt at defining the nature of truth. Co-hosts discuss uncertainty, relationship to truth, views on reality and the relationship between truth and power. Who gets to decide what is true? Who benefits from a collectively accepted truth?
The conversation turns toward pseudo-intellectualism and its hold on people. Co-hosts wonder about human agency, choosing one’s individual truth, human development, and ultimately the journey toward accepting “not-knowing” as a valid path.
The episode ends where the next episode will begin - a discussion of moral truth. Is there a universal and pragmatic “right” and “wrong”? You will have to wait until the next episode for the answer to that question. However if you stay tuned until the end, you will not have to wait to hear about Rajeev’s naked escapades in a pick-up truck which he reveals (pun intended) in a rousing segment: Two Truths and a Lie.
