Me enjoying coffee, which has
nothing to do with this post.

On October 18, I gave an address to the Northern Virginia Ethical Society on the subject of the New Atheism and the divides within the atheist community--a subject that seems to have boiled to the surface of nonbelievers' discussion of late.

I was honored to be invited, and I hope it is only the first chance of many that I will have to give talks and participate in other such events. I was invited to speak by NoVES's Chris Centner and was introduced--and generally taken care of--by fellow Examiner Bill Lewis (he'll be the first person you hear on the recording). It was a genuine pleasure to be there, and the NoVES is a fantastic group of people.

Here is the audio of my address, recorded, yes, on a standard audio cassette by the folks at NoVES. At one point they run out of tape and, yes, had to flip the tape over to keep recording. I have filled in the part of my address the tape missed by simply recording it here at home.

If you're a regular reader, some of the material should be familiar, much was based on some sudden revelations I had as I prepared the text. One way or the other, I hope you enjoy.
