Rejecting False Gods | Who Needs God (Part 2) | Daniel Dougherty

Ever wondered why modern Christianity often seems unattractive and leaves you feeling stuck between doubt and atheism? We're diving into the concept of false gods in Christianity and exploring the reasons behind this dilemma. Listen in as we reflect on how various gods throughout history have been given up and how early Christians were considered atheists by their culture.

In today's episode, we discuss the version of Christianity many of us grew up with and the two common characteristics that underpin it. We identify the false gods often presented to us, such as the bodyguard God and the God of judgment, and examine Karen Armstrong's view that many of us are left with an incoherent concept of God. Learn how our experiences and understanding of reality may have led us to reject the wrong God.

Finally, we investigate the false gods of the 'No Testament' and the dangers of relying on a God who only explains the unexplainable. Discover how science should not be seen as opposed to faith, but rather an exploration of how God works, and how our understanding of things does not remove the importance or necessity for a creator. If you or someone you know has walked away from religion or the church, it might just be because you were presented with a version of God that never existed.
