Today\u2019s show is unlike anything we\u2019ve ever or ever will do again. As you may know, Cass was an evangelical Christian the first 39 years of his\xa0life and a minister for the last 20 of that. Bob never believed. They\xa0got together because they were\xa0both fascinated with the anthropology of why humans need God. Today, they\xa0examine an artifact of Cass'\xa0theism. They are\xa0going to play a 45 minute sermon that Cass\xa0orated in late 2005 in a small charismatic church in north Texas. What is captured on tape here is the last waning year of Cass'\xa0Christian faith, This is the last sermon he ever gave, and a perceptive ear will hear, although couched in Christian language and laden with scripture references, the mental migration he\xa0was making toward humanism, naturalism, and agnosticism. It would about 6 to 7 more years before he\xa0had embraced full on atheism.\xa0and eventually anti-theism.\xa0

Some will be unable to get through it for various reasons. It will bring back memories and emotions for some post-Christians. It might be torturous for some (as it was for Cass) and humorous for others. We just invite you to notice what you notice. Like most charismatic preachers, it gets more and more emotional in time.\xa0

Bob and Cass do a brief intro and follow with about 15 minutes of commentary. We hope, as always, this experience stretches you as a human being.\xa0 \xa0
