What emotional moment did Phil Robertson experience at Auschwitz?
I am unashamed. What about you? Well, welcome back to the Unashamed podcast. This is our Hillsdale episode on Fridays that we have finished. David, we're now complete experts on the story of David.
How does studying C.S. Lewis differ from studying Scripture?
Does everybody feel accomplished now?
I feel like it's one of those things where the more you know about something, the more you realize you don't know anything about it.
That's where I am right now.
I learned so much, but I'm like, wow, there's so much more I could discover.
Well, I know, and I think Al would maybe agree with me on this.
What is the role of a Christian apologist?
I'm a lot more confident in David than C.S. Lewis.
Yeah, we're in this new territory. We're unsure of ourselves, but we have full trust in Zach and John Luke because you guys are C.S. Lewis aficionados.
How did C.S. Lewis transition from atheism to belief?
Y'all are more philosophers. Me and Al are more philosophers. Just kind of take the hard things and make it simpler. Don't take the simple things and make it harder. Yeah, exactly. So we're the opposite of you.
What is the difference between objective and subjective morality?
Well, you're sitting in Jace's chair. You got the hunting gear on. Did you go hunting today? Is that what this is?
Yes, we did. Me and John Luke.
They came here straight from the blind.
How does the Holocaust illustrate the concept of evil?
Straight from the blind. Straight from the blind.
Which was very unashamed-like.
I'm super impressed with both these young men. Which I asked John, how often does Jace come in with all of his face paint still on? Every once in a while. Every once in a while.
What are the implications of 'might makes right' in moral discussions?
Every once in a while. Dad used to do it quite consistently. Yeah, did he? Yeah, he did it. I was going to leave it on to pay homage to that, but I cleaned my face. I don't think Phil ever washed his face during duck season.
Can morality exist independently of God?
Well, that's true. He just kept it on. Because he never bathed either, but that's another story. Christian, you look too nice to leave that out. I'm glad you did.
I was looking at the old videos we got to fill. I found some old videos from when we first started doing all this. And he's sitting in his chair pontificating. And I mean, the shirt, it's a white shirt. And it looks like... They dipped it in your coffee, John Luke, and hung it out to dry. It looks just like the whole thing was like stained.
It had like a hole, like a rip in it. Oh, it's like. Like holes in it.
And that was his outfit because he had that and some khaki pants. And he always wore the Sanuks. Yeah, and the Sanuks shoes. The Sanuks were the only thing he wore. And everything there was just dirty always. And even if it was clean because it's not like they didn't wash it.
Yeah.
But it never looked clean. Yeah. What was with the Sanuks? It was his uniform. I don't know.
That's his uniform. They were comfort.
He had these huge bunions on the side. I don't know if you ever saw them. They're quite grotesque. Now, he claims that they were a blessing because when he was young, he could go up a muddy bank and you know, without, with his feet, like he was climbing like, you know, a monkey going up the bank because of those knobs, because they would hold into the mud. So he claimed when he was young, it was a benefit.
When I was a kid, I thought it was like another toe.
I thought he had like an extra big toe, like a six-toed. Well, he got it from my grandmother. Granny, do you remember Granny? So Granny had them too. She had the bunions. She had the bunions. So it passed on. I'm glad it didn't go to me because they were very unattractive.
They can fix it, but. What's interesting is bunions actually comes up in our talk, because we talk about John Bunyan's progress.
We're going to get into bunions here. And we're in C.S. Lewis today.
We did a good duck hunt this morning, me, John Luke, Jacob, and John Reed. We shot two teal and a snow goose. It was an old brother-in-law duck hunt.
And John Reed, to be fair, is a seasoned hunter.
Yeah.
Is that not true?
That is true. I mean, he's done it his whole life. He'll tell you he's done it his whole life. That is true.
Exactly. I mean, he won't tell you that, but I can say that for you.
He'll tell you.
He'll definitely tell you. You got that episode of the New Duck Dynasty in the first season where they're coming out to learn how to hunt or whatever, and he shows up.
