An atheist and a minister discuss religion and politics. God or Not is the podcast where we discuss all those things you’re not supposed to bring up in polite conversation.
"Truth springs from argument among friends." - David Hume
The Podcast
It's a story we're all familiar with. Two strangers from different parts of the country cross paths on social media. One of them is a right-leaning conservative Christian and the other a left-leaning progressive atheist. They strike up a conversation, arguing about whether or not there is good reason to believe that a supernatural god exists. Naturally, they become fast friends.
Wait, what?!
Scott and Jamie may disagree on many things, but they both share an interest in seeking the truth about our universe, and a deep respect for, and commitment to, open communication. They also believe it is important to challenge one's own beliefs just as much as, if not more than, those of others. So a few exchanges took place on Facebook, which led to a few telephone conversations, until one day the question was asked, "Do you want to start a podcast?" And the seeds that would one day become the God or Not podcast were planted.
