Is there anybody out there?

May 24, 2007

Anyone who would tell you that Australians aren’t interested in spirituality and trying to discover if there’s more to life than what we can see and touch just isn’t paying attention.

Yesterday I highlighted Andrew Denton’s look at the beliefs of a segment of American Christianity. The night before God On My Side was broadcast, ABC screened a special with Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion, talking about religion.

I didn’t see the Dawkins special but he apparently attacked religion and Christianity in particular as being the root of evil.

While we don’t always come up with the same answers there’s a part in all of us that wants to explore the bigger picture and ask the deeper questions of life.

My regular Wednesday morning guest on 98.5 Sonshine FM is Ross Clifford who is the Principal of Morling College in New South Wales and current President of the Baptist Union of Australia. Each week we chat about a range of issues relating to spirituality and belief.

Yesterday we discussed God On My Side as well as the latest from Richard Dawkins. If you’d like to hear our thoughts on the issues just click here or right click here if you want to save the mp3 and listen later.
