0:00.0	You're listening to, atheistically speaking. Oh, Hello and welcome to atheistically speaking this is episode 191 and I'm your host
0:35.8	Thomas Smith. All right as I think I mentioned last week we are going to forego the
0:41.0	commentary for this week because we have a very extended and
0:46.3	detailed and awesome interview with James Lindsay about his upcoming book which I
0:52.2	was able to read ahead of time so I had plenty to talk

2:10.4	I'm not that self-assured. I do have the goal that I want it to change the conversation about
2:17.1	God to something more fruitful. And if game changer seems like kind of a strong phrase but that is what I'm aiming for.
2:26.0	Well it does at least seem like for the right audience it should probably shift the paradigm a little bit in how we're in how we're dealing with these things
2:36.0	assuming the thesis of your book is successful am I right that that's probably the goal?
