Now I am not reintroducing the idea of purgatory, but on the other hand, I do believe the baby was sworn out with a bathwater. With that came a belief, when you die, you're instantaneously and magically made perfect.

All of someone who dies immediately goes into eternity. There is no place where you make up for your sins. There is no purgatory. In the twinkling of an eye, we shall be changed.

It's time for wretched radio, with Tom Friel.

It is Wednesday and I am getting out of my car. At Georgia Tech, there's this guy just sitting there studying.

Who just, he's holding up a flair as if to say, please come and witness to me. Now, here's what we'll do. I'll just go talk to him. If I get shut down, which I might, because it looks like he could be studying.

The kids at Georgia Tech actually, overall, seem to want to get to their classes. When you go to a different, people in Georgia say that Georgia Tech, they tend to be more serious here.

Well, possibly because of the type of fields of study that they're in, it just seems that they actually want to get to class. They actually want to learn.

I've been shut down a few times normally when you go to a state university. Hey, could you talk to me for a minute? No, I'll give you all afternoon, man. Then I don't have to go to class.

And they seem more than happy to not go to class, so that they can't get their money's worth, which I think this is the only arena where people don't want to get their money's worth.

The kids these days was spending mom and dad's money. All right, this guy might shut me down, so let's just see if we can have a chat with him. Hey, dude. Hey, man, chat with you just for a moment.

I don't want to interrupt your schoolwork here. You got just a minute? Cool. I got to ask you, what are you studying here?

I'm studying physics. Tell me something. Teach me one thing about physics that a knucklehead like me can grasp.

Hmm. One thing about physics. Something cool that I could actually apply to my life. I'm an average Joe. What could I use?

Hmm. Well, right now I'm studying circuits and stuff like that and just how electrons travel in circuits and things like that.

And well, I don't know how that applies to your life, but how electrons do what in circuits?

Circuits, electrons travel in circuits and that's what creates the current and the...

So things that while they're traveling in a straight line, if you will are actually traveling in circles, is that what you're saying?

No. I'm talking about an idiot.

Electrons. Electrons in... I have no idea about any of this. So what are you going to do with this stuff? What's the point?

This stuff relates to all kinds of technology computers and anything electrical. Think of an electrical engineer and he's having to make sure the building is going to be powered.

And so you have to figure out what kind of power supply, what kind of power from the city or whatever do I need to get this building?

Yeah, I'm grateful to those guys like you because frankly, you could be speaking in Hebrew to me right now, but I couldn't understand it more.
