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.
