Penn Gillette on atheism on NPR's This I Believe

I heard this when it was first aired a few years ago, and it has stuck with me. One of my favorite quotes from it is, "Believing there's no God means I can't really be forgiven except by kindness and faulty memories. That's good; it makes me want to be more thoughtful. I have to try to treat people right the first time around."

Bart Ehrman interview on the Colbert Report

Skeptics in the Pub

I just learned about this. If I was a joiner, this might be fun. It might not be. Enough beer and all conversations end up here anyway, right?
