As an atheist, folks often try to sell me on a watered down, gentler version of Christianity, sort of a moderate version of Christianity.

And I have a couple questions of that about that. First, why would, are we assuming I've never considered that?

That I didn't look at that before leaving the faith, that I could never be moderate. It was fundamentalism or nothing.

And second, isn't that still picking and choosing which aspects of a Christian faith you want to hold on to? It's still choosing to believe in the verses that make you feel good or that

affirm your worldview. It's fundamentally lacking in curiosity, lacking in intellectualism.

And I don't really want to live a life lying to myself, even if it's a more moderate

version of lying to myself.

So if you find that upsetting or offensive or you actually agree and are like, yeah, get

rid of those moderates.

Come over to the atheist side.

Then call us because the show starts now.

Yay! Welcome, everyone. Today is September 15th, 2024. I am your host, Sophia Spina, and joining me as my co-host, objectively Dan.

What's up? How's it going? Sophia? It's going all right. How are you? Doing good, doing good.

I'm not hosting today. You're hosting today, which is a reversal of the last time we hosted together.

So, you know, it's nice. I get to sit back. I don't have to look what's in the call screening notes or anything or the announcements, you know. So you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, I have all the reading, which. Yeah, yeah. Yes, it's like a book club. This is this, for those behind the scenes, there's a lot to read. You probably notice. But yeah, so we get to test my like basic English skills pretty much. You're doing great so far. I've understood every word you've said. So keep it up. Yeah, because I bit my tongue the other day. So I am worried. I'm like, yeah, if I'm sorry. It's just a tongue bite, man. In normal life, it doesn't matter too much, but in podcasting, it's a big deal. I know. So I've been very self-conscious. I've been gone for a couple of months. And so I'm like, oh, man, like right before coming back. So, yeah, I just had a baby. So that's why I was gone. And now there's a new... We should probably talk about maybe that.

Maybe mentioned the fact that you are now a, you know, a giver of life.

A second time.

A second time.

Yep.

Yep.

So congratulations.
