What is faith? Well, according to Hebrews 111, faith is the substance of things hoped for,

0:05.9

the evidence for that unseen. And then the book goes on to list Bible figures that were rewarded

0:12.4

for their faith. And yet we have concepts like a crisis of faith, needing to renew or refresh

0:18.5

faith, to fail in faith. And it seems kind of high maintenance,

0:22.4

an unreliable way of seeking truth. Now, I seek truth through skepticism and critical thinking,

0:30.4

1:29.8

viewing audience that our hydrodynamic visages are the peak of male performance, and I'm tired of

1:37.1

pretending it's not. Yeah, yeah. You know, I think our sleek, clean look actually enhances the show.

1:45.7

You know, and it hopefully will attract some people to want to come in and be a part of this, you know.

1:51.6

We do have open lines, folks, and we are looking for you to call us and tell us what it is you believe and why.

1:59.6

This is talk heathen.

2:02.3

This is a product of the atheist community of Austin. And we are committed to the separation of religion and

2:09.6

government, secular humanism, critical thinking, and the promotion of atheism, a 501
