Athiests/Agnostics will sure get a kick out of this lecture but it is entertaining as well as thought provoking at the same time, I highly recommend you watch.....but don't if you are a sensitive religious type, regardless of any denomination.

His admirers acclaim his legacy as a teaching bishop who makes contemporary theology accessible to the ordinary lay person—he's considered a champion of an inclusive faith by many both inside and outside the Christian church. His challenges to the church have also made Bishop Spong a target of hostility, fear, and death threats. In what may come as a surprise to his critics, his latest book, A New Christianity for a New World, is a statement of Christian faith and love for the church. Calling himself "a joyful, passionate, convinced believer in the reality of God," he seeks not to create a new <B>religion</B>, but to reform the church he loves.
