Bob presents a talk on "Good Without God," Cass talks about strange bedfellows around Islamophobia, and friend David Suhor's brave stand for religious freedom.  We feature the song, "Take Me To Church" by Hozier.  Dig it!  

Roger is the most theistic guest we've ever had.  He's an ordained Methodist minister on the campus of Univ of Colorado, Boulder.  He's one of many voices in Progressive Christianity.  Author of "Kissing Fish: Christianity for People Who Don't Like Christianity."  Roger is a great communicator; he almost re-converted me and he's not even trying.  

Our first anonymous guest, Slink, shares his story of being a secret atheist (who's conservative), a hemophiliac, HIV positive, and his plight as a single, adult male wanting to work with children (and have one).  He sings, he jokes (of a trite, last encounter with his estranged biologicial father, and he has no vices.  Featuring songs from Johnny Cash and XTC.  Dig in!   

I discuss the first 17 items on American Atheists list of 40 harmful effects of Christianity. And Neil Carter's review of the movie "God's Not Dead." Christian author Rachel Held Evans recommended the review to her flock. I address the question, "does the anus double as a sex organ?" from personal experimentation. I plug "The Partially Examined Life" philosophy podcast. I briefly address Sam Harris' new book, "Waking Up." Interject some Hitchens and Carlin before I just ran out of gas taping in the middle of the night. 

Wayne's pilgrimage took him to every major religion and its practices to see what works.  From Jesus to Rumi to Ganesh to the Tao.  Listen as Wayne shares a rigorous search for "truth" in the most pragmatic sense.  He wrestles not with religions or the contradictions in his own life.  There's something here for us to learn.
