I try very hard to be open-minded and enjoy knowing people with different opinions of politics, religion, and even try to get along with–gasp!–meat-eaters! Sometimes though I do get into arguments, but I really do try to be polite and listen.

Today I am playing “Midst of Your Mystery” by Laura Cheadle from her first album Falling In. I hope you like it. She’s got a really bluesy style going on here. I got this off MusicAlley by Mevio.

By the way, if this show sounds a little choppy let me know. I was recording it in drips and drops because I kept getting interrupted by humans, dogs and telephones, which I guess means humans yet again.

Apparently a 22-year-old man committed suicide after reading Richard Dawkins’ book The God Delusion according to his dad. We discuss if it is possible that the young man’s sudden lack of religion in the face of his father’s strong faith could have been the reason for this tragedy, or the lack of social support, or even some other reason.

Is it dangerous to become an atheist? Is life worth living without a belief in God? And is Dawkins the best first introduction to atheism to young vulnerable people of faith (We don’t know as we haven’t read The God Delusion yet.)?

Pardon the sound. I don’t know what is going on–I think my settings are all messed up and was running out of time trying to fix them. Maybe it’s Satan. I just went back into Garageband, reworked all the sound settings, re-rendered it, and re-sent it back to the server, and it still sounds like caca. I give up (though it’s a little better than it was!).

Bonus on blogsite only! Here is the YouTube video I mentioned in the podcast where the mother is going batshit insane because her teenaged son expressed his atheism.

Dwight talks about his favorite high school teacher, and how he found atheism indirectly through a philosopher she had his class read.
