The Black Fridays welcomes Dr. Deepak Sarma this week for a discussion on the nature of faith, the Hindu faith, and Hindu interpetations of paranormal phenomena. A fascinating discussion that I am sure you will enjoy. Dr. Sarma is a Professor or Religious Studies at Case Western Reserve University. Sarma earned his M.A. in religious studies and his Ph.D. in philosophy of religion from the University of Chicago. He has a B.A. in religious studies from Reed College in Portland, Ore.

Yeah the interviewer identifies himself as a fundamentalist Christian and so he's looking for this absolute about Hinduism by which he can then dismiss in order to further maintain his own Christian ideology. haha. The professor keeps taking the guy for a deeper ride into logical paradoxes until finally the fundamentalist Christian guy's brain synapses start to rewire. Pretty funny -- but that's what happens when someone gets too curious. haha.
