Dualism & Other Religions Critiqued - Ep.202 - A Quick Course In Comparative Religions

Moving on from atheism to see how dualism & other religions critiqued. Applying the two-step method of providing an internal critique and then giving the biblical answer, we see the arbitrary and inconsistent nature of these worldviews.

Platonism with its mind and body dualism and Aristotle with his materialism give a movement toward the Christian worldview but without a basis for knowledge. Finally, we look at three types of non-Christian religious worldviews. Representing them are Hinduism, Hare Krishna, and Buddhism. We see the denial of some parts of reality lead to a rejection of their own worldview.
