Author: JAUS

Excellent video about belief. Descritpiton below is copied from the YouTube-clip:

_"ACA's President Matt Dillahunty talks about "Belief"--when it's appropriate to believe and when it's better to withhold belief._

_Several years ago, lifelong Christian Matt Dillahunty delved into apologetics in an effort to be a better and more persuasive defender of the faith. He was sabotaged in this enterprise by his own intellectual honesty, and found his way to atheism and our little community._

_Since joining ACA, Matt has worked tirelessly; he has hosted the Atheist Experience TV show during a period of growing world-wide popularity. He is a permanent fixture on the Non-Prophets Radio show as it has grown from a small audience to being one of the most popular atheist podcasts available, with thousands of regular listeners._

_Matt is currently serving his third term as ACA’s president, and has led the group with fairness and intelligence. Under Matt’s leadership, ACA has survived and prospered, becoming a more diverse organization that not only serves its members socially, but intellectually as we fight to defend the ideas we think important._

_Matt is a bit of a celebrity now; a Google search of the name Dillahunty yields many hits on Matt, including his Wikipedia entry. He is especially popular in Australia._

_The ACA Lecture Series is held monthly in Austin, Texas and is open to the public. The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals._
