This time 2 years ago I had the honour of being on a panel (with this guy) at Ashmolean theatre in Oxford, for occasion of @philippullmanreal.bsky.social receiving Bodley medal. Very special night, but I drank too much and so ruined my book launch event with Pullman next day...will I ever grow up?

I keep hearing Christian apologists conflate two questions:
(A) Does life have intrinsic value without God?
(B) Does life have an ultimate purpose without God?
On (A), I'm yet to hear a good argument as to why atheists can't be Platonists who believe that life has objective intrinsic value.

My newfound sense of peace and joy didn't stop me losing my cool and shouting at my 5 year old. I guess I'm not quite enlightened yet...

Is it unbiblical for the government to build highways? Further confirmation of my conviction that fundamentalist Christians are not evil, they're just not very bright.

I've just added a brief addendum to this.
I've come up with a mathematical proof that God beats the Multiverse. Looking forward to this post bringing about universal consensus on this matter.

I've enjoyed reading the comments on this post. I think the best response is that the multiverse hypothesis makes it more likely our universe exists, which counterbalances the advantage for the God hypothesis I identify in the post. I need to think more about this.
