Sorry, no. To summarise: Christians and Muslims scream at one other in a public park, and the (liberal Christian) presenter is commendably balanced and thoughtful about it all.

Very interesting. I wonder how an atheist would fair up there o.0 It'd be scary.

That podcast is a different but related programme. It's a studio debate between the the same Christian and Muslim recorded prior to the 'live from speaker's corner' programme.

You're pretty brave Justin. Good job. Though I don't see the point, considering the whole no free will thing. Keep up the good work.

Not really brave, I was only reporting on it. Jay Smith is the one who receives the death threats!

I take it the problem of free will is an issue for you with religion in general?
