The purpose of this talk was NOT to unpack Kyle's deeply-held God beliefs using SE, but rather to understand why members of his group were avoiding me, which is why I let many of his claims go at this time. Mistakes: I'm kicking myself for not asking if Kyle has/will warn the leaders of the other on-campus religious groups like the Muslim Student Association or the Hindu Society and advise their members to avoid speaking with me.

Read the Book: Peter Boghossian: 'A Manual for Creating Atheists' http://tinyurl.com/SE-PB-AMFCA Brianna is a member of CRU and says she knows her God is real because of her personal experiences that she attributes to Jesus and faith. I never planned to release this encounter because of all the deficiencies (e.g., cell phone ringing, no whiteboard, etc.), but did so after a number of people in the description field of my discussion with Daniel and Beau, two fellow CRU members who said that Briana asked everyone in their group to pray that she represented her position correctly during my talk with her: https://youtu.be/OpwxM2wNChE While I could be mistaken, Brianna may have dropped the class we were both taking, as I have not seen her on campus since. Music provided by Chet Hovatter. Mistakes: My phone ringing twice during an interview was not cool. First time that's ever happened. Ugh. Seems that the interruption (or the heat) killed the livestream. I have since learned to try and remember to disable notifications before interviewing.

Ep 072: Daniel & Beau | What Else But Faith? | Street Epistemology San Antonio, Texas 8 October 2015 More details about this talk below.

Read the Book: Peter Boghossian: 'A Manual for Creating Atheists' http://tinyurl.com/SE-PB-AMFCA Daniel and Beau are student leaders of CRU, an on-campus ministry for college students. Near the start of the talk Daniel asks if I had interviewed a woman from his group named Brianna, which I had but didn't recall at the time. I have since found the footage with Brianna, and it was a decent talk (she uses faith, too). Perhaps I'll upload the discussion if enough people request it. 16 November 2015 EDIT: Many people requested seeing the discussion with Brianna, so here you go (apologies for the cell phone interruptions): https://youtu.be/3ampUlezRMI Although their definitions varied a bit, both men use faith to be 100 percent certain their God exists, but would likely prefer evidence if that was available to them. Mistakes: I regret not having pushed a bit harder on the differences between faith and evidence, but it looks like there may be an opportunity to do that if we meet at a later date. It can be risky to bring up topics like evolution in an exchange like this, but I made an effort to be clear that I didn't want to debate the topic with them.

Read the Book: Peter Boghossian: 'A Manual for Creating Atheists' http://tinyurl.com/SE-PB-AMFCA Amy has seen a documentary called 'The Secret' and thinks that, if she simply envisions things, they will come happen. But does it work with cancer? I wanted to pursue this belief a little further with Amy, but we had hit our five minutes and her friend was patiently standing off to the side. Perhaps next time. Music provided by Chet Hovatter. Mistakes: 'The Secret' is, to the best of my knowledge, a documentary, and not a book like I mentioned at the end.
