Skewering with Satire

Erik December 28th, 2007

Religious satirist and senior contributing editor for The Wittenburg Door, Becky Garrison stopped by SBE this week. We talked about satire and atheists and some other stuff that I don't remember right now.

(Give me a break. This was recorded weeks ago and I'm on vacation.)

Of Hunchbacks and Atheists

Watching Theology May 30th, 2007

I skipped church again. It wasn't intentional this time, just that sort of thing that happens when you're really exhausted, just too far spent to wake up in time. Then there's that temptation of quietness "“ that two hours of having the house to yourself that hasn't happened in ages. It's sanctuary, and isn't that what church is supposed to offer anyway?

In recent months it's become much easier to take atheists seriously. Back in the good old days, when … (Read More)
