What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I am unashamed.
What about you?
Welcome back to the Unashamed Podcast. We are in our second C.S.
Why is studying C.S. Lewis relevant in today's culture?
Lewis episode. We've upgraded with some coffee from John Luke, who... Took a rather long break to go fix one cup of coffee.
I'm the one on the time constraint, and then I asked John Luke to make me some coffee because it's nice having a coffee guru amongst our people. That is true. Because I love good coffee, and we're doing this in the afternoon. Because our schedules are so crazy, and so I have to have it, especially talking about the objectivity of reason and all that.
Why do you have a hard out today? I got to get my teeth cleaned.
What does C.S. Lewis mean by objective truth versus subjective feelings?
After you're drinking black coffee.
I brought a thing of floss, because I get so nervous about going in to have someone work on your mouth, you know, right after you've had coffee or whatever.
Yeah.
Yeah, black coffee before a dentist appointment is a bold move. Well, I'll tell you what.
How does the problem of evil relate to belief in God?
That is a bold move.
That's no better time. Get it cleaned up. Get them bleached out. Cy has new teeth, which was he made his debut on the podcast.
What role does suffering play in C.S. Lewis's conversion to Christianity?
So did that kind of push you to like make sure you – Well, no.
I mean, I'm just getting mine clean, Zach. It's not like I'm pulling them all out of my head. It's not quite that dramatic. What got me about Cy was that he waited until 77 years old. But then I finally found out why.
How do Tolkien and Dyson influence Lewis's perspective on Christianity?
And I don't know if I can say this, but I'm going to, I guess. I was like, cut it, Matt, if it's not right. But I said, well, Si, why did you do this? Wait until 77.
He said, hey, because it's free.
So the guy apparently traded Si the work for whatever Si's doing for him.
Well, that's worth it. Well, it was worth it because he has all his teeth. Oh, he's amazing. I've never seen him look that good.
He looks great.
Why would C.S. Lewis be unpopular in today's social media-driven culture?
Yeah. Well, this is Unashamed for Hillsdale. You guys can check it out at unashamedforhillsdale.com. You can take the course with us. We're going through the work of C.S.
What does it mean to say Christianity isn't safe but is good?
Lewis, which is super exciting. My brother's a dentist, by the way, Al. So if you lived up here, you might get...
I don't want your brother anywhere near my teeth. I'm just going to tell you right now. I love him to death, but this man, he might just implant something in there that later he could make me suffer. Grant's got a sadistic personality at times.
I don't want him anywhere near my teeth. You're starting to sound like an anti-dentite.
I'm an anti-Grantite, I'll tell you. If he's the dentist... One of the best Seinfeld episodes. It was a good one. Entied, entied. What does he say? Next thing you know, you're going to say they should have their own school. He's like, they do. There you go. You're entied, entied.
Thank you for bringing up Seinfeld because the young people don't appreciate Seinfeld anymore because it's a 30-year-old television show, but people my age love it.
We watched the whole thing. Mary Kat and I watched every episode of Seinfeld.
Loved it. Yeah, and it was like new to you, right?
It was new, yeah.
It's so good, isn't it? It's still funny. And it's so funny because a lot, like The Office is kind of y'all's era, I guess. Is that right? Yeah. And I love The Office, too, by the way. Love The Office. But Seinfeld was a little different animal. But it's funny because a lot of new generation, they don't think Seinfeld's very funny. And especially because, you know, it was old comedy. that, you know, you could make fun of somebody and it didn't mean you were demeaning a race of people or whatever, whatever, like the anti-identity. But there were all these like double meanings and it made, that's what made it funny. And, uh, it was kind of like old comedy that now people are kind of run away from. So, but it seems to be coming back.
So it's coming back. Seinfeld was classic though. And there's a little bit more nuance to the humor than slapstick comedy. Right. Yeah. So you gotta, it is more of a higher brow humor. Uh, but, uh, Man, I love some Seinfeld.
Well, that fits what we're doing in this course, Zach, because we're in highbrow country right now. Christian and I have been brought into the world of philosophy and apologetics.
