Great show guys! Have you ever looked into Joseph Campbell? The power of myth [i think the tv/lecture version is on netflix] and the hero with 1000 faces have a lot of interesting stuff to say about a lot of different belief systems through history, their similarities and the sort of overarching function of them on an anthropological level. I think in discussions about Atheism it's kind of easier to focus on fundametalist religious people who take everything incredibly literally, but I feel like there's a lot of people out there who 'believe in' science and just sort of look at religion as a cultural interpretation of these sort of inexplicable things and that sort of moral/social ground. The impersonal God vs the personal God idea. Granted it's the extreme fundamentalist people that drive us into wars and all that crazyness. But I think there's a lot of people that fall into the grey middle ground, where they prescribe to a belief but don't take any specific religious text literally.
Either way rad show! I just got into blastoff more recently and started at the beginning! Thanks for being awesome!
