Speaking of good radio John Humphrey’s conducted three fascinating interviews with a Christian, a Jew and a Muslim in an attempt to get them to convert him. Fascinating listening.

Beyond Belief on BBC Radio 4. Shame it doesn’t come as a podcast.

As more of an atheist/ humanist than anything else, who’d have thought that my interests would have widened to include theology as well as technology. What’s interesting is that far from nibbling away at my secular beliefs the more I delve into theology the more it reinforces my atheism.

One overriding thing I keep hearing from those with religious faith is that things described in sacred texts such as heaven, hell, virgin birth, resurrection, miracles etc. are notions which actually reside within an individuals mind and serve to aid one’s faith in whichever way one requires.

If this carries on doesn’t this inevitably lead to the notion that religious faith is all a product of the human mind and not that of an external god.
