So you remember I dropped my DOPOD 838 Pro off to Three a month ago for repairs? Well at the time they told me it would take four weeks. So I rang them today, only to be told it is going to be another FOUR WEEKS. Now – as annoying as it is to be going without my phone for nearly two months, the other issue is this – as I bought the phone on a plan, I’m PAYING for it every month. But I don’t have it. Their bullshit slow repair cycle means I’m paying for a phone I’m not using, not getting the business benefit out of it. What do you think? Do I have grounds to ask them to drop my monthly charges?

On a recent show with Reggie Finley I mentioned that I like to ask Christians this question: “What would it take for you to convert from your belief system to atheism?”
Chris Summerfield responded today on his blog. I think it’s an excellent piece of writing.
To cut to the chase, his answer is:
I would become an atheist when I understand an atheist world view that makes more sense than my current world view of all that I experience.
He explains his thinking in detail in his post and I hope to get him on the show to discuss it in more detail.
