    The first episode of the Jewish Agnostics Podcast! In this episode, we invite Rabbi Aaron Pink to speak with us and answer 5 questions submitted by our viewers. NOTE: This content is not meant to be offensive, nor was it meant to incite religious hate of any sorts. This interview was conducted solely to facilitate the spread of religious knowledge by introducing different points of view on pressing religious questions. Question 1: "Can you prove that G-d is real?" - Ilan Goldmann, 2:12 Question 2: "If G-d were real and all-powerful, why would he allow people to make religions that contradict his greatness?" - David Goetz, 10:12 Question 3: "Is heaven just a defense mechanism used to cope with death?

Is it contradictory? - Zach Carter, 24:46 Question 5: "Will religion ever become extinct?" - Jonah Antevy, 32:41
