darren put this up on his blog, i watched it and thought it was great. so watch it....
you have to watch the whole thing though....it'll all come together in the end.
in watching this, i was also reminded of something Richard Rorty said. He is a leading postmodern philosoher who teaches at Stanford University.
"I'm delighted that Liberal theologians do their best to do what Pio Nono said shouldn't be done--try to accomodate Christianity to modern science, modern culture, and democratic society. If I were a Fundamentalist Christian, I'd be appalled by the wishy washiness of their version of the Christian faith. But since I am a non-believer who is frightened of the barbarity of many Fundamentalist Christians (e.g. their homophobia), I welcome theological Liberalism. Maybe Liberal theologians will eventually produce a version of Christianity so wishy-washy that nobody will be interested in being a Christian anymore. If so, something will have been lost, but probably more will have been gained."

an interesting and telling quote.
Reminds me of the quote - although slightly unrelated - is the one that says that "the greatest achievement that the devil has ever done is that he has made people not believe that he exists."
Oh what shall we do with this post-modern unbelieving world. It is a happy discovery to know that such people as that man in the video exist.
yeah, this guy is right about the fact that many Christians don't really know much about their own religion, especially about the doctrine he mentioned so many times - doctrine of hell.
