Description
Hi, I'm Mark Scarbrough and this is the podcast WALKING WITH DANTE. In most episodes of this podcast, we slow-walk passage by passage through Dante's masterwork, COMEDY. But this is an interpolated episode, brought about because of several conversations I've had online with people recently.
The question is this: How can I, an atheist, read Dante's COMEDY? I thought I'd answer that problem as well as I can.
Here are the segments of this episode of the podcast:
[01:24] My backstory with Christianity.
[03:20] Inferno is the easy part!
[05:01] All art exists in a frame--and you cannot get rid of the frame without ruining the art.
[10:31] I don't have to save Dante from Christianity.
[14:11] The Comedy is not a mirror to see myself better.
