Mexican Intellectual Odín Dupeyron on God, Faith, and Critical Thinking

Odín Dupeyron, a well-known Mexican intellectual, recently sat down with René Franco to discuss his views on God and faith. Dupeyron, known for his critical thinking, stated, "Having a relationship with God isn't part of my life, because for me, God simply doesn't exist." He clarified that this wasn't simply atheism, but rather a position rooted in critical thinking and a rejection of commonly held assumptions. The interview delved into the concept of magical thinking, with Dupeyron explaining, "There's a lot of magical thinking, but there's also a lot of critical thinking." He further elaborated on the distinction between what we understand through science and what remains unexplained, suggesting that this gap is often filled with magical interpretations. The interview provides a fascinating insight into the intellectual's perspective on faith and reason in modern society.
