Jackie draws connections between encounters with nature and spiritual events. After the talk becomes too emotional, we broaden to topic to truth, belief, opinion, fact, and feeling.

Peter Boghossian: 'A Manual for Creating Atheists'

This student was on a local college campus when she agreed to have a conversation with me. We planned on talking for five minutes, but the ended up speaking longer than that.

In this discussion we learn that, while she didn't always believe in Allah as vigorously, the young woman puts herself around the 100 percent mark, not only because she was raised that way, but also because she turned to the one God that made the most sense to her in a time of need.

We spend some time comparing the confidence in her belief to a fictional woman walking by who is just as confident in the Hindu God Krishna.

I returned to the campus the very next day to meet with her, she was not around. When I returned the day after that, we spent another ten minutes or so chatting, but unfortunately the footage from our second meeting was damaged (I think my SD card took a static hit as it is no longer recognized by any computers [if you have any tips on how to repair this, please let me know as I am saving the SD card just in case]).

I hope to run into her again one day for a follow-up interview.

Update: Officially learned from DriveSavers that the footage was un-recoverable on 13 March 2015 around 2:15pm CST.

Music provided by Chet Hovatter.

Mistakes:

I should've specified that the hypothetical woman who believed Krisha is the one true God was Bhakti Hindu. I learned about this group of Hindus mere days before this interview on the 'The Thinking Atheist' podcast with guest Aron Ra (1:03:45 mark): http://tinyurl.com/TTA-BHAKTI

My GoPro uses a SD card, not a SIM card. Sorry, techies!

After first saying miracles were the main reason for his belief, we quickly uncovered that faith, or believing without question, is the main reason Antoni was 80 percent certain his God exists.

Music provided by Chet Hovatter.

Mistakes:

I regret not having asked Antoni where he was on the confidence of his belief after the talk. Next time for sure.
