DESCRIPTION: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 proble
 ms 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 powe
 rful motivators for belief in this kind of God\, but both ideas are render
 ed incoherent in this wide-ranging 10th subject talk of the Secular Societ
 y of MIT's Course 0 series.\n\nWHEN: Thursday\, 2022/DEC/08\, 6pm ET\nWHER
 E: 4-231 (2nd floor\, 182 Memorial Dr\, https://whereis.mit.edu/?go=4)\n\n

  event: (TBA)\n\nAbout our speaker:\nJonathan MS Pearce is an author\, jou
 rnalist\, 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 Again
 st the Existence of "God"\, Heaven\, Hell\, Satan\, and Divine Design) to 
 tackle the existence of God and connected ideas head-on. Pearce is a forme
 r teacher who had to retire due to developing primary progressive multiple
  sclerosis. He would like to thank God for that ... or perhaps thank scien
 ce 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.\nHis writ
