In this episode, I discuss the inconsistencies in ethical claims made by atheists, particularly in relation to gun violence and morality. I argue that without a belief in Jesus, atheists lack a solid foundation for their ethical standards.

We’ll explore the differences between atheistic and Christian worldviews, particularly in how they approach morality, human flourishing, and the justification for ethical claims.
