New blog I recently found, OftenBetterThanFine, started by a friend on the far side of the world. Smart chap, I’m here to tell you. He has located an interesting/engaging set of YouTube lectures that I’m just starting into. I enjoy mind expanding discussions like this one; they make a good inoculation against the dwarfish, provincial worldview celebrated on days like Easter. Though I will add that I have no idea where this is headed. 🙂
I’ve just listened to the first YouTube video from A Hughman, and it was a refreshing and enjoyable way to spend some time on my lunch-break (even if I couldn’t really see the screen properly in the sun).
I’m looking forward to his other episodes.
I was already beginning to think that ‘wonder’ is one of the most powerful things you can experience, and a noble end in itself, but this video meditates on the issues beautifully.
The video was superb. Your post is timely, as I just discovered and subbed to Hugeman’s YT channel yesterday after reading this most excellent post by a guest writer on Godless in Dixie.

The post is about the generally long grieving process once devout Christians go through during and after deconversion. Anyway, here is what she said about Hugeman:
Now following his blog. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

I’m looking forward to going through his other videos but haven’t yet. Looks to be a good deal of dimensionality there.

That’s where I found out about the series too. Thank you Neuronotes, I’d forgotten where the original link came from.
(also, for the record, it’s A Hughman, as in “a human”, not hugeman :))

LOL, thank you for bringing that to my attention. I just noticed the misspelling. In my minds eye I saw Hugh, not Huge. However, my fingers did not. 😀
