I suppose the episode isn't uploaded to their YouTube yet (at the time I'm writing ... maybe they'll upload it later).
They address 'post-modernism'---basically the idea that we DO "see all things clearly now," and--since G*d isn't among those things--G*d must not be something 'that we should know about' (most people would phrase that 'that we should believe in,' but ... I'm difficult 
)
The host of the show (and his Christian friends) carry that to the conclusion that--if it's true--there is no reason to 'behave' (as there's no judge to send you to Hell when you die).
And THAT is where we part ways. The host (echoing "all Christians") tells us that we are doomed to Hell forever if we don't believe Jesus died for us, comparing it to 'being doomed to fall to our deaths if we don't believe that jumping off an overpass will kill us.'
Heaven---it's where you "go" WHEN YOU SLEEP (yes, every night). Or Hell. Sometimes it's Hell---nightmares, they call it. The TRUE 'eternity' The Bible promises is ON EARTH.
With all of Jesus-&-co.'s stories about 'a fantasy land you'll go to after you die,' it's easy to convince people that those stories are about "what actually happens when you die." But if you keep your head while you listen, you recognize which teachings are morality-tales & which are 'actual predictions.'

Take a 2000 year old question, throw in a mix of Gen Z college students, and add a healthy serving of experts and what do you get? Road Trip to Truth, a series that seeks to teach us that the answers to life's biggest questions. Join host John Fabarez on h

We will not know what happens when we die until we actually die.
