Nathan Jacobs, Nones, LIfe Itself, Stranger than Fiction, Karma, Life after Death, the Trinity

In my second talk with Nathan we start to get into the shape of unbelief of post-Christian Nones. The movies "Life Itself" and "Stranger than Fiction" illustrate two aspects the conflict between the impersonality of their weakened Karma, their desire for justice and meaning. I want to know what a "person" is which leads to a very long explanation of the difference between Augustine, Boethius, and the Eastern Fathers on the Trinity and why it matters. Lots of analysis of contemporary post-Christian unbelief, philosophy and theology. We'll talk again because we're only starting to explore.
