Titles of programs/sermons and a brief statement of content on each:

  • A Press Conference with God - In this service I portray God's press secretary I accept real questions from members of your congregation and I "submit them to God" for reply. The result is a very different - and UU-friendly - look at God and God concepts. It is both serious and humorous but respectful of almost all religious viewpoints, and it is (I hope) highly entertaining.
  • Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Atheist - I take a look at the historical perspectives towards atheism and examine why atheists inspire such fear and revulsion.
  • The Optimistic Atheist, or Atheists in Foxholes - I answer the question I often get from theists, "How can you be happy in life if you don't believe in God and some purpose to life?
