Short description

Rob Porter conducts both sides of a Socratic dialog on faith and religion between a skeptic and a believer.

Extended description

Ever wonder what a conversation between an atheist and a believer would sound like if each answered all of the other’s questions honestly, without any dodging or changing the subject? Now, imagine them doing that while taking turns respectfully and not shouting over each other like on tv talk shows. Right. So, in order to make this happen, Rob Porter, in the ancient Socratic tradition, conducted both sides of this wide-ranging and often amusing dialog on faith and religion between a skeptic, and his fundamentalist neighbor and his born-again wife. Listen to them discuss God, angels and the Devil, worship and prayer, sin and redemption and just why there seem to be so many believers. And see if you think there are any questions that perplex humanity to which the answer is “magic.”
