~Michael Guillen “Can a Smart Person Believe in God?”
I suppose most all of us know the two great Commandments: Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and to Love your neighbor as yourself. In fact, I suppose we’ve heard these so often that, in some sense, we’ve almost become numb to them. So, tonight I thought it would be interesting to take some time and ask the question: What would it really look like to love your neighbor as much as you love yourself?
It’s customary in the wake of the Super Bowl to talk about which ads were the best and the worst. But the real test of memorability is not whether you can recall an ad within 24 hours of seeing it in a venue where you are predisposed to purposely pay extra attention to the advertising. The real test of memorability is whether you recall an ad at a much later time, perhaps more than one year (or five years) later. Moreover, it’s not enough to merely remember the ad, but for an ad to succeed, you must be able to remember enough connected information to take action on the product or service if you wanted to at that later date. So, trying to put aside the very influential power of ads you’ve seen recently and/or frequently, which ads are memorable enough to you that you know them even years later?

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.

Every once in a while, someone decides that the best way to make a point is to compare someone to Hitler (or to Nazis). This happens with disturbing regularity in politics, but I happened to read an article the other day which did it with Jay Leno and the NBC late-night jockeying drama. This raises the ethical question for me of whether it’s ever a good idea to compare people to Hitler (or Nazis).
We’ve been on the air for five years (plus three weeks), and we thought it would be interesting to hear from those of you who have been listening regularly (or even you newbies) about what moments or topics have stood out the most to you in listening to the show. One thing that I find fascinating in talking with people is to hear what sticks in people’s minds, and it is almost never the things I would predict. So, I fully expect to be shocked by what I hear today. And if you just want to email me, please do so.
