This, to me, is the key to why religion is so much more than its critics surmise and why it consistently elides their attempts to charge and criticize it rationally.

This might seem off topic, but I wonder if anyone has been watching The Good Place and what the opinions are of it?
When I first started watching I thought it was going to be a stupid sitcom, but it's quickly become one of my favorite shows for how it attempts to address complex modern morality and ethical philosophy in a light and comical way. Not to mention the discussions of the reasons for humanity and the construction of the afterlife. Seems similar to some thoughts thrown around in this thread.
