Now religious/Christianity discussion aside what does everyone think about the idea of a podcast? I've already started getting people to help out...I have three so far from the Daily Anarchist forum...and I'm hoping to find a couple from the FSW forum who are "Christian Anarchists" to help out with that area of discussion. But what do you all think?

My personal experience is that people who "believe" are completely closed to rational discussion about their "beliefs." But, having said that, I'm obviously wrong as Marc has "converts" from the belief in the state and Eye2 is an example of a "convert" from belief in ... well, other stuff (he says, attempting to be politically correct.)

So, hell, I don't know. I do know that I have no interest in that direction. Been there, done that, as they say. Besides, as long as people treat me respectfully, why would I want to change their thinking on anything? If it makes them happy it seems pretty arrogant of me to try and change their thinking.

Or maybe I'm totally misreading what you are proposing. Certainly woodent be the furst thyme!

P.S. But then, as I reflect upon what I've just written I can see that I am totally full of crap, as I am constantly attempting to convince people to be open minded and rational. So go figure.

While you are constantly attempting to convince people to be open minded and rational...I find that that is a GOOD thing...sure with most people, sheeple that they are, you're doomed to failure but the point remains. And I am at least, willing to be open minded and rational about my religious beliefs...I just tend to have a higher opinion of my observations and the conclusions I've drawn from them, than the observations and subsequent conclusions of others...but methinks that's human nature.
