Streaming live from the UK, author Jonathan MS Pearce tackles the common idea of God — what he calls "OmniGod". These characteristics of being all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-loving create so many problems and inconsistencies that the belief in OmniGod — an idea held by many in the world — is unjustified. Heaven and Hell are two of the most powerful motivators for belief in this kind of God, but both ideas are rendered incoherent in this wide-ranging 10th subject talk of the Secular Society of MIT's Course 0 series.

WHEN: Thursday, 2022/DEC/08, 6pm ET
WHERE: 4-231 (2nd floor, 182 Memorial Dr, https://whereis.mit.edu/?go=4)

Audience Q&A after talk. The event will be photographed, recorded, and/or streamed.
Free and open to the public. Free refreshments will be served.

About our speaker:
Jonathan MS Pearce is an author, journalist, public speaker, and philosopher who has always been interested in arguments concerning the existence of God. After having written a dozen or so books on the subject, he wrote his latest book (30 Arguments Against the Existence of "God", Heaven, Hell, Satan, and Divine Design) to tackle the existence of God and connected ideas head-on. Pearce is a former teacher who had to retire due to developing primary progressive multiple sclerosis. He would like to thank God for that ... or perhaps thank science for the stem cell therapy that has kept it stable for the last 4 years. He lives in the south of the UK with his partner and twin boys.
