  "No need to fear atheism. I like this guy, Sam Harris he's doing it right. I always say the reason I don't embrace atheism is that I've never been that certain about anything, it's just not in my own nature to be terribly decisive in a philosophical way. I always tend to see both sides of most things."

  ...Atheism is not anti-theism. It simply means you see no evidence for god(s) and live as though none exist. Atheist are not against the idea/possibility of a god's existence.

  Also, why do people always think atheism is so decisive? If I say I am an a-Santa, am I being unreasonably certain? I mean, Santa might exist, sure, but I've seen no evidence for his existence and I live as though he's not real. Am I not seeing both sides if I say "Santa isn't real" or "I don't think Santa exists?" I'm not an anti-Santa, so if he does show up tomorrow (or on Dec. 25th), that's cool with this a-Santa atheist.

  Great video,BTW.

  Not sure if I'm gonna respond to him yet. It's been THREE YEARS! I heard from him once since then, he accidentally called me (thought he was calling my dad). We had a polite, albeit brief, conversation.

  The thing is, I'm not sure what I'd say to him. If I say: "Look, it's been three years and the new system still isn't here." He'll just say, "Yeah, but at least I stayed on the watch. No man knows the hour; we have to stay in expectation of it..."

  And if I accidentally drive on the grass or on the shoulder of the road:

  "Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads."

  A line from The Wizard of Oz that my wife and I used to say after some public talks:

  "Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking."

  Crux- Yeah, glad to be here!

  Glad you guys liked it. Not sure why the broken link. I know YouTube stopped supporting certain browsers, so maybe that had something to do with it.
