sound sync is off a bit... sorry.

Horrible questions. I agree about the "atheist" tag; if I have to add an "-ist" to myself, I suppose humanist is fine. I'm just me.

I should add that it's not my/our obligation to disprove the existence of God, it's a theist's obligation to prove it. And faith is not proof, so there we are.

here is the full interview:

Is it legit to change the embedding to the full version?

I think it's OK to change it in this case as the content is essentially the same, the video isn't out of the queue yet and the synch is off on this one. Change away.

(We probably need a real rule for this)

ok. changed to full version, thanks mauz and dag.

Thank you for this interview. I don't think the questions were horrible. Robert Wright certainly holds some strange views, but I think he defends them rather well. At least, he manges to challenge Dennett enough to inspire him to rephrase and clarify his views. I found that made the conversation rather interesting.
