theist and atheist, watch and learn.

Good interview, I like Dennett's approach, especially reframing atheism as "bright", replacing the negative nature of the word "atheist" with a positive word suggesting intelligence. I'm not sure what Jan means about his uneasiness I didn't see anything like that.
 
If someone ever called me a "bright" I'd punch them in their stupid face. It's atheist. You shouldn't have to apologize for not being a nutcase/idiot. It's not the word, it's the fact that people somehow equate believing in a demanding imaginary friend with morality dispite the violence and ignorance it spreads.

it gets better about half way through, when Dennett crushes the guys arguments for epiphenomena.
