You're listening to, atheistically speaking. Oh, Hello and welcome to episode 86 of atheistically speaking with your host Thomas Smith.

In this episode we're going to continue the interview with Jonathan Figdoor and then toward the end after that if we have time we'll see how it goes

I'm gonna try to get to some comments about last week's episodes those are

Yeah a lot to say there's a lot to talk about there I feel like

there's a lot more thinking and research and and etc to do but I but I don't want to distract from the interview we're in the middle of

great interview with Jonathan Figdoor a great guy that was very fun so let's get to the rest of that. The next thing I was going to ask you might seem a little off topic now, but you had described how you know you had a lot of

favorite a lot of atheist books and stuff like that that you really liked when when you were going

through that phase of losing your faith I guess as it were and

after and I was just wondering to put you on the spot what's it what's one of your

favorite books by an atheist? Douglas Adams hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

That's a good one.

You know, I mean, I went to Harvard Divinity School to study the Four Horsemen, you know,

Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchins, and Daniel

Dennett, but I really, in terms of my love of this stuff, I really think

Douglas Adams has the most humanistic philosophy of the three of them.

Interesting. Yeah, and I know Douglas Adams and Richard Dawkins were good friends.

Yes. He, I think I remember a video of,

oh my gosh, people should look this up if they haven't seen it.

There's a talk that Douglas Adams did about a trip he took.

What was that?

Yeah, to the Amazon.

Yeah, I have the book right here in front of me.
