Fr. Andrew Younan joins us to discuss his new book, Thoughtful Theism, and to explain why an authentic belief in God is perfectly reasonable.

Questions Covered:

• 29:30 - Could there be spirits or energy instead of God?
• 32:14 - I was raised protestant but was interested in Catholicism so I spoke with a priest. He said things like “Jesus is not the way” and that we can get to him through Buddhism. Is that really what the Church teaches?
• 35:46 - What would be a piece of advice for how to approach atheists without having a desire to be in a debate?
• 41:30 - Do you think that the west’s messing around with Aristotle has caused a poor understanding of reason that is less present in the eastern churches?
• 44:55 - Does Father think that people who deny God’s existence hope that their souls are immortal?
• 47:32 - Publically I could evangelize but I’m not an expert. Should I just lead by example more than verbally?
• 49:56 - What is the best way to evangelize without sounding pushy?
