The question from agnosticism is,
Who turned on the lights?
The question from faith is,
Whatever for?

As I mention in the podcast, some new listeners found the classic 2005 “Why I Don’t Believe in God” episode where I reflected on a podcast by Dave Slusher from the Evil Genius Podcast. After a suggestion to repost it and reading the article “The New Atheism” article in the November 2006 Wired magazine, I’m posting the podcast as a “best of” for this week and next week when I’m off to Florida to lead the Creative Ministry Gathering.
So for those of you who are long time listeners – its a rerun. For newer folks, this will not only give you a better idea of where I am coming from on this journey but where many others are coming from as they come along. If you are in the Chicagoland area and coming to check out the U2 Eucharist, it will point to where we are going with that, in a sense, who is invited to the party and its NOT “church people first.” This is for folks who want connect with Christ, not what is passed off Christianity.
A shout out to Dave – In the two years we have been podcasting, the landscape has changed dramatically. There was a time when you would find both our podcasts listed on podcast pickle and even itunes. Now the big corporations have overshadowed many of the first wave of podcasts or some have gone corporate. Best of luck to them if they can make money at it. However, check out EGC. Dave is still keeping it real, just as he always has, and whenever I listen, it reminds about what is best about podcasting – not studio production values, but real people talking about their real lives and real interests. He may find this compliment a little strange, but Dave is still keeping the podcast faith and there don’t seem to be many like him left. Kudos.
