Thom Krystofiak: Tempted to Believe

from Graceful Atheist Podcast Hosted by David Ames

Stay skeptical? This week's guest is Thom Krystofiak. He's the author of Tempted to Believe: The Seductive Power of Claims About "The Truth." Thom grew up Catholic but as an adult began practicing TM, Transcendental Meditation. He followed gurus and groups for decades, even though he was never quite convinced of the more spectacular claims of TM. Thom shares about his experiences in the TM movement and what pushed him out. He also discusses important questions people, regardless of their belief or skepticism, could ask themselves: What do I mean by truth? How do I find the truth? And how much does truth really matter?
