Stating this on Nation Public Radio is no surprise, it's the opinion of the majority of its listeners. If someone of faith was given serious time on NPR, then I would be surprised.
How about this essay from the same series? Surprised?
I get pretty mad if I listen to NPR news too much because they are way, way too smug.
But honestly, this has been a very interesting and varied series with real people from many backgrounds. I am not upset easily by what others believe as long as it is delivered in good faith and honestly, so that may be what makes the difference.
