The Responsibility of Sin pt.2
Our schedule's have been crazy for the past few weeks so unfortunately we did not find time to record a new episode. But we still wanted to post something so Mikel sat down to try and clarify some of his thoughts from the previous episode on Dostoevsky's quote from the Brothers Karamazov.
“There is only one way to salvation, and that is to make yourself responsible for all men's sins. As soon as you make yourself responsible in all sincerity for everything and for everyone, you will see at once that this is really so, and that you are in fact to blame for everyone and for all things.”

The Three Parts of Morality - Mere Christianity Chapter 11
In book 3 Chapter 1 of "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis, Lewis writes about why we need morality. He answers questions like: Why does God give us so many rules? And; Why are some things still bad if they don't seem to hurt anyone? Walter and Mike talk about their favorite parts of this chapter and explore some of the ideas Lewis lays out.
