Ep. 9 Does God exist? The Moral Argument Part 1
This week we return to exploring arguments for God’s existence, specifically the Moral Argument. Do we need God for morality? Clare talks through what the moral argument is and what it's not. It’s designed to help us grapple with the foundations of objective moral values, and how perhaps this points us to God.

Ep. 8 Is Christianity a copycat religion? Part 2
On this episode Clare looks at stories of Ancient Egypt which describe Aset (Isis) and her alleged virgin birth/immaculate conception. The idea that Christianity copied from story is closely examined, alongside the interpretation of Egyptian carvings which predate and tell a seemingly similar account to the resurrection of Jesus.

Ep. 7 Is Christianity a copycat religion? Part 1
The allegation that Christianity is copied is popular within the Black community. It's the idea that Christianity's colonial power stole and reformulated ideas from Kemeticism, ancient Egyptian religion. Clare explores this objection, looking at the Afrocentric and European scholarship which underpins its claims.Resources:Urban Apologetics ed.
