Show Notes

Matt puts the Speech Guys to work, tackling CS Lewis' arguably prophetic "Abolition of Man"--a collection of speeches presented at King's College in Newcastle, England in February 1943.

"Chicago... the city of Saturday."

--Sean Dust

"If your child goes to the Grand Canyon and says, 'meh', there's something wrong with them."

--Mike

"The Tau... the doctrine that some things are really true. To question it is to ask for proof that something that can't exist."

--Matt

"You can have your choice of five major religions... Christianity, Judaism, Confuciansim, Islam, and Buddhism... Modern religions have been born of excess and luxury--not scarcity. They aren't a foundation upon which the world was built."

--Mike

"The actual people of non-faith aren't atheists. They're the nones."

--Mike

"You can't take one part of the Tau or else you lose the whole thing."

--Ross

"If you've spent your educational efforts at teaching children how to debunk things... they're going to be very good... at debunking things."

--Matt
