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."

"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." -- Steven Weinberg

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?
