The highlight for me begins at the 11:30 mark:

    Regarding the first minute of the talk (Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac), I remember as a small child asking my father if he would ever sacrifice me if he heard God telling him to. I was greatly relieved when he replied that he would instead turn himself in to a mental hospital.

    Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more cogent and succinct argument for the church/state divide and the need to re-examine the “special privileges” of religious organizations.

  • I love Sean Faircloth. Here’s more proof that religious “affirmative action” ought to be ended. Three cheers for Sean!
