			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone has something to say about religion, so our good friend &amp; Christian Culture expert <a href="http://blog.beliefnet.com/stuffchristianculturelikes/" target="_blank">Stephanie Drury</a> sat down with us on Tuesday night as we broke out the webcam and streamed our first live show from Studio B!</p>
<p>We covered a variety of faith-themed topics, and had some fantastic discussions with those of you who were rad enough to call us up or chime in from the chat room (or both!).</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re new to deez Grapes, you should know that this is not our typical fare; 2 minutes into any other episode should tell you that. But we are a community here, and this subject always seemed to rear its head which is why we&#8217;re hitting it straight on &#8211; honestly and with humor.</p>
<div id="attachment_2285" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 491px"><a href="http://www.grapesofrad.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/steph-1.jpeg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2285" title="steph-1" src="http://www.grapesofrad.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/steph-1.jpeg" alt="" width="481" height="404" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Our friend Stephanie</p></div>
<h2>If you weren&#8217;t able to make the live broadcast &#8211; fear not! <span style="color: #ff0000;">We want to  keep the discussion going in the comments below.</span> If you have something  to say, please say it.</h2>
<p><strong>P.S. </strong>Despite the wool I somehow manage to pull over everyone&#8217;s eyes, I&#8217;m actually tech-tarded. Trying to broadcast a live show with call-ins while simultaneously recording the audio to editing software but making sure everyone on all 3 sides can hear it is, in my head, the same amount of tech it takes to get to the Moon.</p>
<p>MUCHAS gracias to everyone who helped during setup, especially Sean, who is certainly over his minutes this month from spending 2hrs on the horn with me while I tried to fix computer problems with my Victorian-era skills.</p>

If you weren&#039;t able to make the live broadcast - fear not! We want to  keep the discussion going in the comments below. If you have something  to say, please say it.
P.S. Despite the wool I somehow manage to pull over everyone&#039;s eyes, I&#039;m actually tech-tarded. Trying to broadcast a live show with call-ins while simultaneously recording the audio to editing software but making sure everyone on all 3 sides can hear it is, in my head, the same amount of tech it takes to get to the Moon.

MUCHAS gracias to everyone who helped during setup, especially Sean, who is certainly over his minutes this month from spending 2hrs on the horn with me while I tried to fix computer problems with my Victorian-era skills.</itunes:summary>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: #ff0000;">J</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">oin us LIVE at</span> <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-grapes-of-rad" target="_blank">http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-grapes-of-rad</a> <span style="color: #ff0000;">TONIGHT at 6:00 PST!</span></h2>
<p>Tonight, we&#8217;ll be talking religion with our dear friend Stephanie. If you don&#8217;t know Steph, you can check out <a href="http://blog.beliefnet.com/stuffchristianculturelikes/" target="_blank">her hilarious/rad website</a>, or <a href="http://fffmks.wordpress.com/2010/05/22/website-reviews-stuff-christian-culture-likes-vs-stuff-christians-like/" target="_blank">this most recent article</a> about how awesome she is.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.grapesofrad.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/steph-1.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2285" title="steph-1" src="http://www.grapesofrad.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/steph-1.jpeg" alt="" width="481" height="404" /></a></p>
<p>But before we start some kind of holy war, there are a few things we wanted you to know:</p>
<h2>1. This is NOT about trying to change anyone&#8217;s mind.</h2>
<h3><span style="color: #ff0000;">Remember &#8211; you don&#8217;t know, and neither do we.</span></h3>
<p>The point of this show is to hear from as many of you as we can, and to talk about what each of us has experienced about spirituality/religion. DO NOT call up just to shit on organized religion; I&#8217;ve heard enough of that from every stoner/college freshman/drunk guy I&#8217;ve ever met.</p>
<p>One of the reasons we chose faith as a topic is that everyone has something to say about it, and we want to hear your story. Maybe you&#8217;ve been burned by your former faith, maybe you&#8217;re currently active in ministry, or maybe you grew up without any religion at all. We want to hear from you!</p>
<h2>2. We will be streaming the recording LIVE so you can hear what everyone else has to say.</h2>
<p>We want a discussion, so we&#8217;ll be streaming live from Studio B on <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-grapes-of-rad" target="_blank">our USTREAM channel</a> at around 6:oo pm PST on Tuesday (5/25). This way, you&#8217;ll be able to hear other callers, and respond to things as they happen. You&#8217;ll also be able to type/chat with us, and we can share what you write over the air. As always, we&#8217;ll tweet when everything goes live.</p>
<h2>3. You can be anonymous.</h2>
<p>If you want to call in, but don&#8217;t feel comfortable sharing publicly, all you have to do is ask for protection, and I&#8217;ll make your voice sound like Darth Vader on helium when the show comes out.</p>
<h2>4. This isn&#8217;t about just one religion.</h2>
<p>Although Stephy is a world-renowned expert on, and Ben &amp; I have histories with, American Evangelical Christianity, this discussion is not limited to one belief system. But, people sound like jackasses when they talk about religions/cultures they aren&#8217;t a part of, so share your story because it might not get brought up unless YOU do it!</p>
<h2>5. Don&#8217;t be a dick.</h2>
<p>This can be a very sensitive topic for some people, so don&#8217;t be a dick to someone who may disagree with you. If that happens, we&#8217;ll make a bigger jackass out of you than you will appreciate &#8211; we promise. (<a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/prnewser/original/Douche.jpg" target="_blank">ScoutMac?</a>) We want this to be a safe place where people can share some personal things if they choose to do so.</p>
