What is faith? What is doubt? What is the relationship between the two? Why are these things important to us as human beings? A dialogue, rather than a debate, Dr. Garret Merriam (an atheist) and Baret Fawbush (a Christian) discuss these questions and more, in an effort to better understand why we do (or don't) believe in God.
Note: Apologies for the audio problems towards the beginning. It was a technical issue with my mic. After my opening statement, about the first 25 minutes or so, it's fixed (I switch mics).

![Unsung Philosophers: Blaise Pascal
The philosopher you know for all the wrong reasons, Blaise Pascal is a certifiable genius. Forget The Wager, and bask for a few minutes in the stunning brilliance of one of the most penetrating intellects the world has ever known.

Correction: the Nietzsche quote at 4:49 was inaccurate. The correct quote is One should never forgive Christianity for having destroyed men like Pascal. Notebook 11[55]. Unsung Philosophers: Blaise Pascal](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mTHN_eQaEaI/mqdefault.jpg)
