EXPECT DeLays! Tad DeLay and I are not related, but we've been having fun with name humor leading up to today's episode. Our conversation is full of very compelling topics that include anxiety, belief, the unconscious, ritual and more, based on Tad's work studying Jacques Lacan, Sigmund Freud, Paul Tillich, and some other Continental philosophers. What is the function of ANXIETY when it comes to belief or ritual? Why do people who don't believe in God still act as though God is there anyway? What should we know about ourselves so we can confront our weaknesses more effectively?
