Episode 003 April 13, 2008
Posted by exquisitetruth on April 13, 2008
We must be getting better; Episode 003 is done days ahead of schedule. This is our best episode to date. There’s lots of spirited debate, and the refrigerator haiku is proving to be a really fun segment. You have to listen to our vintage Thomas Jefferson recording, it’s an historical treasure.
Thaddeus fills in for Vania, who is out of town again this week. Jeff Pierce joins Kevin and Thaddeus for a second week. A discussion about bio-fuels morphs into a debate on universal health care. We talk about a quote from Thomas Jefferson, and we examine a new Refrigerator Haiku.
Thomas Jefferson Quote
“I rarely waste time in reading theological subjects… Ridicule is the only weapon that can be used against such unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. It is mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus. If it could be understood it would not answer their purpose. Their security is in their faculty of shedding darkness, like the scuttle-fish, thro’ the element in which they move, and making it impenetrable to the eye of a pursuing enemy, and there they will sulk.”
Listen to Thomas Jefferson read this quote in our “historical” recording.
