Philosopher Stefan Molyneux questions if sin is God’s design in this 31 May 2026 Sunday call-in, tying theology on temptation and free will to how childhood abuse like spanking kills self-empathy and breeds excuses for harm. He pushes actual virtuous behavior over belief, money as freedom through self-control instead of treating it like a drug, and protecting kids to break the cycle.
