Chapter 33 SummaryPoint to Ponder: Whenever you are tempted to think how great you are, just think of Peggy Hill on King of the Hill.Quote to Remember: ''I'm humble -- and proud of it!'' (Wheaton College lapel button)Question to Consider: Does The Living Bible even count as a Bible?Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Chapter 32 SummaryPoint to Ponder: Who am I when I feel most authentically myself?Quote to Remember: ''Idolatrous faith has a definite dynamic: it can be extremely passionate and exercise a preliminary healing power... But the basis of the integration is too narrow. Idolatrous faith breaks down sooner or later and the disease is worse than before. The on limited element which has been elevated to ultimacy is attacked by other limited elements... The fulfillment of the unconscious drives does not last they ar ...

Chapter 25 SummaryPoint to Ponder: What happens to me is ''good'' if I decide it is.Quote to Remember: ''A theory is a theory, not a reality. All a theory can do is remind me of certain thoughts that were a part of my reality then. A statement or a 'fact' is an emphasis - one way of looking at something. At worst it is a kind of myopia. A name is also just one way of seeing something. I can't make a statement about reality without omitting many other things which are also true about it. Even if it were possi ...

Chapter 24 SummaryPoint to Ponder: If you believe the Bible is an infallible authority because your pastor said so, then he is really your infallible authority, isn't he?Quote to Remember: ''That which does not preach Christ is not apostolic, though it be the work of Peter or Paul and conversely, that which does teach Christ is apostolic even though hit be written by Judas, Annas, Pilate, or Herod.'' (Martin Luther, preface to James)Question to Consider: What isn't any true statement just as good as the ''Wo ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
23 - When Is A Religion Not A ReligSpecial guest: Dave VanAllen!So, it looks like no one really likes to think of their faith as a ''religion'' per se, but as a relationship with a higher power...a higher power that is invisible, thus allowing for multiple interpretations to be offered. Fair enough. Your faith is based on truth, and the others just on wacky superstition, right? Dave Van Allen of ExChristian.net joins Danny, Mikyle, and Miles for a discussion on whether one lives a particular lifestyle, or dwells within an al ...

Chapter 23 SummaryPoint to Ponder: If justice is not built into the structure of the universe, then our duty to establish it as best we can here on earth is all the greater. Quote to Remember: ''In this respect fundamentalism has demonic traits. It destroys the humble honesty of the search for truth, it splits the conscience of its thoughtful adherents, and it makes them fanatical because they are forced to suppress elements of truth of which they are dimly aware.''Question to Consider: Why would it be bad t ...

Chapter 22 SummaryPoint to Ponder: Jesus is too important to be left to Christians.Quote to Remember: ''Like beauty, perhaps Jesus is in the eye of the beholder.'' (Harry Reasoner)Question to Consider: When I ask myself, ''What would Jesus do?'' am I perhaps doing just what the gospel writers did?Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Chapter 21 SummaryPoint to Ponder: It is easy to disguise cowardice as forbearance.Quote to Remember: ''Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out.'' (Proverbs 22:10, NASB)Question to Consider: How do I know whether I ought to consider a troublesome member more like the demoniac in the Capernaum synagogue (Mark 1:23-26), to be expelled, or more like the Lost Sheep (Matthew 18:12-13), to be pursued and persuaded?Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Chapter 20 SummaryPoint to Ponder: It's more important to have good relations than to have shared beliefs.Quote to Remember: ''Only Nixon could go to China.'' (Old Vulcan Proverb)Question to Consider: Do you want to win an argument? Or do you want to win a friend?Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Chapter 19 SummaryPoint to Ponder: Don't hesitate to request clarification: if you're mystified, chances are most others present are, too. Quote to Remember: ''No one is wrong. At most someone is uninformed. If I think a man is wrong, either I am unaware, or he is. So unless I want to pay a superiority game I had best find out what he is looking at.'' (Hugh Prather, Notes to Myself)Question to Consider: So what if I make a fool of myself?Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Chapter 18 SummaryPoint to Ponder: The moment you can no longer take your beliefs for granted, you have become a heretic.Quote to Remember: ''For premodern man, heresy is a possibility- usually a rather remote one for modern man, heresy typically becomes a necessity.'' -Peter L. Berger, The Heretical ImperativeQuestion to Consider: Evangelists tell me I have to choose Christ for myself. Why don't they want me to make up my own mind about anything afterward?Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Chapter 17 SummaryPoint to Ponder: You have to admire the courage of a radical, not that it makes his opinions correct.Quote to Remember: ''What after all are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchers of God?'' (Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science, 3:125)Question to Consider: Is your church or group on the verge of buying building to meet in? Are you sure you want to do that?Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Chapter 16 SummaryPoint to Ponder: If love accommodates even hell, what can't it accommodate? And then , what does it even mean?Quote to Remember: ''JESUS LOVES YOU, BUT EVERYONE ELSE THINKS YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE.'' (bumper sticker)Question to Consider: Do I really witness to people because I love them? Or am I afraid of guilt if I don't?Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website

chapter 14 summaryPoint to Ponder: Is the Christian life reducible to a kind of fantasy role-playing game inside my head? Quote to Remember: ''Christ's virtue, the virtue of discipleship, can only be accomplished so long as you are entirely unconscious of what your are doing.'' (Diedrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship) Question to Consider: If my Christian experience is a constant struggle of dissatisfaction, frustration, and seeking forgiveness for sin, aren't I being a hypocrite when I witness, tel ...

13 - Worship that Creates GodSpecial Guest: Dan Sawyer! Typical religious belief has us looking up to an independently existing God, and worshiping Him as such.

Taking this point of view, Dan Sawyer returns to discuss the issue of ''sculpting God'' (something he knows a little about)and Bob Price's thought that perhaps what happens in church is to be taken as literally as the movie you just saw...only without rampaging monsters or scantily clad Spa ...

Chapter 12 SummaryPoint to Ponder: Whoever thinks he can give you commands is not your friend.Quote to Remember: ''Verily, it is a blessing and not a blasphemy when I teach: 'Over all things stand the heaven Accident, the heaven Innocence, the heaven Chance, the heaven Prankishness.'''

03 - One Track MindSpecial Guest: Brian Dunning!Kicking off with Robert Price's response to Rick Warren's chapter ''Who Drives Your Life?'' we delve into the topics of guilt, forgiveness, sin, and even evil. What makes us feel bad after doing something wrong? Were we committing a sin against God, and in our fear of holy retribution we seek forgiveness? Price points out that the word ''repent'' comes from the Greek word for ''changing one's mind.'' Is that all we are doing, changing our minds and choosing not ...
