A Christian and an Atheist
I have to write some more about this podcast, which is somehow one that I listen to occasionally and find both maddening and worth listening to. Perhaps it's because I dislike it so much that I listen to it. The two hosts of the show seem like reasonable, intelligent people, but in practice they each do such a poor job of representing their sides of whatever they're talking about that when I'm listening I often feel like screaming.
Of the two, the atheist seems to be making a better presentation than the christian, who is virtually incoherent when he really gets going. To his credit is quick to say so when he knows he doesn't know what he's talking about, but by the amount of completely garbled thought he emits, he hasn't figured out how recognize when his brain lapses into neutral.
But still, I applaud these two guys because they're talking about philosophy, and not enough people take this stuff seriously these days. Ultimately, thinking is good.
Interestingly, while looking up the URL above, I found another podcast called the Christian and the Atheist (why do the Christians always come first :-) ?). I may have to give those guys a listen and see how they do on this topic.
