FORA.tv - The World Is Thinking

FORA.tv was an early entry to internet tv, but it was scheduled streaming, still requiring watching at the appointed time. Now however they have a storehouse of video on demand together with excellent indexing and an on-site flash player. Their slogan is "The world is thinking", and it is indicative of their offerings.

Richard Dawkins From their "ThinkTank" section, here for example is a nearly 2 hour summary and Q&A by Richard Dawkins on his book "The God Delusion" at Randolph-Macon Woman's College. It is well worth the watching.

Marcus Borg and Houston Smith And just to balance things out, also on the fora.tv site, from what's wrong with ancient religion, here's a reasonable view with what's right with modern religion. Internationally known biblical and Jesus scholar, professor and author Marcus Borg joins Huston Smith, one of the world's leading scholars of comparative religions, for a special Friday evening lecture at The First Congressional Church of Berkeley.
