What's more surprising to me is the amount of money. $137,000 embezzled from one church?! Which means the church must have a lot more than that, otherwise it would have been noticed sooner. No wonder churches are still expanding even during the economic crisis, they're probably doing better than most businesses are.

There was plenty new and interesting in this talk; I've read his book "godless" and listen to the Freethought Radio podcast, but still got a lot out of it. Anyone who's interested can search YouTube to see other events he's spoken at. The one in Memphis isn't up yet, but I saw it mentioned somewhere that it had been recorded and would be posted on YouTube eventually (hopefully soon!).

blackbart1721, I've heard this a number of times, too. The thing is, when the Bible talks about the Israelites being captive in Egypt, apologists make it sound like slavery, but when the Bible (including Jesus) mentions slavery, then they act like it's just a butler or something, like you said. I think using Alice from the Brady Bunch is a good image, using specific examples (even if fictional) can drive home a point, I'll have to think of this next time it comes up.

It's sad that he probably doesn't even realize he's posing the wrong question. When he's asking "Do you believe that nothing created everything?", I think he should be asking "Was there a creation?" or perhaps, "Is there any proof that everything, or anything, was created at all?"

I'm sure they would reply that we just need to have "faith" that he was resurrected. Believers try to have it both ways: "there's proof Jesus rose from the dead!" Then when you dispute the proof, they say "You have to have faith." Which is it???
