Have some more Hitchens… it’s good for ya…

This is the opening statement that Christopher Hitchens gave in a religion vs. Atheism debate with Alister McGrath on October 11, 2007 in two parts. It is illustrated with still images for emphasis…

The Atheist Experience

My favorite podcasts involve a gentleman named Matt Dillahunty… He hosts both The Atheist Experience and The Non-Prophets in which he and outspoken atheists from the Atheist Community of Austin discuss the subject of religion. I’ve posted a video of a previous exchange that I thought was particularly well argued.

This is from last weekends Atheist Experience where he and a gentleman named Don Baker ended up talking about morals, then a fellow Austin resident named John called in to question them on whether or not God is moral. I would ask you to watch this even if you think you’ve heard these topics any number of times. Enjoy…

Neil Young 63 today…

From a 1971 BBC performance… Whole concert is here…

A change is definitely gonna come…

Just thought this especially appropriate with the message of “change” in this campaign…

I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like the river, I’ve been running ever since
It’s been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come

It’s been too hard living, but I’m afraid to die
I don’t know what’s up there beyond the sky
It’s been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come

I go to the movie, and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me “Don’t hang around”
It’s been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come

Then I go to my brother and I say, “Brother, help me please”
But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees

There’ve been times that I’ve thought I couldn’t last for long
But now I think I’m able to carry on
It’s been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come

Vote.

That is all…
