I met Irina through a mutual friend at a Laurie Anderson concert in 1995. She has always been a free spirit, and a very kind and gentle woman. She works as a doula, which means that she assists and supports mothers through childbirth. • Support the CVS Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/CVS • Be a guest on a livestream: https://calendly.com/cvs-podcast

Lucy is 17 years old. She is a hard determinist, which is one of the most rationally self-consistent forms of atheism. I really enjoyed our intense debate about the logical necessity of the uncaused first cause. • Support the CVS Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/CVS • Be a guest on a livestream: https://calendly.com/cvs-podcast

I have known Gandhar since around 2003. He is an interesting man with a lot of colorful stories to tell. I attended his Ph.D defense a few years ago and always enjoy picking his brain about religion and philosophy. • Support the CVS Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/CVS • Be a guest on a livestream: https://calendly.com/cvs-podcast

I met Ali at one of the monthly Centre for Inquiry (CFI) Skeptics in the Pub meetup events. He is my second Unitarian Universalist (UU) guest. He grew up in Iran in a nominally Shia Muslim culture. • Support the CVS Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/CVS • Be a guest on a livestream: https://calendly.com/cvs-podcast

Sharon is a Raelian Guide. I heard her speak at the Raelian Gathering where I first met and interviewed another Guide, André Julien. I requested this second interview because I enjoyed meeting everyone that I met there. I was warmly received once again. • Support the CVS Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/CVS • Be a guest on a livestream: https://calendly.com/cvs-podcast

Occasionally I find long and obscure religious comments on my YouTube Channel. This nice lady, who humbly asked to be left unnamed, reached out with a form of Monotheism that I have never encountered. She asked to be labelled simply as "Their Child". • Support the CVS Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/CVS • Be a guest on a livestream: https://calendly.com/cvs-podcast

My first encounter with Dan was listening to his "Just an Immigrant" show on CKUT in 1994. Five years later I met him when he bought some of my psychedelic painted vinyl records. We became friends instantly. • Support the CVS Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/CVS • Be a guest on a livestream: https://calendly.com/cvs-podcast

I met Chris Dyer at a potluck back in the 1990s. We clicked because we had both been initiated into the same Sikh meditation cult: "Science of the Soul Incorporated." Chris is a talented, devoted, and successful artist, and a kind soul. • Support the CVS Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/CVS • Be a guest on a livestream: https://calendly.com/cvs-podcast

Crawl on your hands and knees and lay face down at the foot of the cross and Jesus in His mercy will look down on your humility and bring you with him on his cross: he'll give you all the crosses you need to make it to heaven.

When I was an atheist, and deep into the New Age movement, I made the acquaintance of the always vivacious and charming Marilyn Rossner. I first met her in 2001 at her SSF/IIIHS Townhouse Centre, on de Maisonneuve Boulevard. This is the first time we've talked since my conversion. • Support the CVS Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/CVS • Be a guest on a livestream: https://calendly.com/cvs-podcast

I met André Julien through the Montreal Raelian meetup. I attended a monthly gathering in Longueuil and then we did our interview in a noisy fast-food restaurant. • Support the CVS Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/CVS • Be a guest on a livestream: https://calendly.com/cvs-podcast

Alex is from Australia. We met for the first time at a "Skeptics in the Pub" meetup, and then he joined my Catholic vs. meetup group.

Natalie and I know each other. She welcomed me into her home for this friendly chat. I was just coming down with a cold, and so my voice is a little off. • Support the CVS Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/CVS • Be a guest on a livestream: https://calendly.com/cvs-podcast

This is my first ever Skype interview. I am happy with the sound quality. I contacted Lama Jigme Gyatso after I saw his interview on the Fallen State with Jesse Lee Peterson. I enjoyed our chat. • Support the CVS Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/CVS • Be a guest on a livestream: https://calendly.com/cvs-podcast

Stephen is an old friend. We have enjoyed many a game of chess, and many a game of squash. This was a great opportunity to get to know each other a little better on another level. • Support the CVS Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/CVS • Be a guest on a livestream: https://calendly.com/cvs-podcast

Ivan is an old friend from the neighbourhood. His energy is infectious and I knew he'd have a lot to say. He didn't disappoint. I only wish he could have stayed to chat a little longer. Next time. • Support the CVS Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/CVS • Be a guest on a livestream: https://calendly.com/cvs-podcast

I met Vijay Patel as I was waiting to meet Yogesh Patel (no close relation) in the Hindu Temple in Montreal. His warm and gentle smile was very endearing,, so I asked if he would also be my guest. • Support the CVS Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/CVS • Be a guest on a livestream: https://calendly.com/cvs-podcast

Yogesh is the secretary of the Shree Ramji Temple in Montreal. Our interview took place in the basement of the temple, and the live chanting can be heard in the background. He was very patient with my questions. • Support the CVS Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/CVS • Be a guest on a livestream: https://calendly.com/cvs-podcast
