Jay and I were debating ethical investing and oil while watching him playing the game "Democracy 4" and the conversation evolved into morality and existence of God, and I thought it would be interesting to record with everybody's permission. Later on other people we know from the investment world joined in to contribute the debate.

17:00 Atheism relies on democracy rather than legacy religious rules
21:50 Back to free will and the risk that God took giving it (if some of his creation will end up in hell)
29:00 If it's not possible for a human being to disobey God, then God has made a robot
31:30 Inconsistent bible translations and the bibles manuscripts vs Plato's and Aristotle's
38:40 Hard atheism and the word good are arbitrary, and even among religions the word "good" can have different values
42:00 You need an absolute standard of the "good" to have objective morality
