Other than briefly spotting her while talking with the leader of an on-campus ministry, I never ran into Xenia again. On 26 April 2016 I woke up to a message via Twitter from Xenia saying, "Hello, you interviewed me at UTSA a while ago when I was a Christian! Thanks for that!". We connected and then met at a quiet park to conduct this interview on 6 May 2016. While our first talk seemed to be a catalyst in Xenia's journey from belief to non-belief, the subsequent resources she discovered from pioneers in the atheist community (e.g., Dawkins, Penn & Teller, Nye, Hitchens, etc.), as well as the non-believing colleagues encountered in daily life, must not be discounted. I stand in awe of Xenia's bravery and perseverance to discover truth through skepticism. Xenia and I both agreed to dedicate this video to Dr. Richard Dawkins. Note: If you can afford to be an "out" atheist, please consider doing so. Normalizing atheism will help other non-believers join our ranks. Note: If you are a former interlocutor of mine and wish to meet again, please do not hesitate to reach out like Xenia did here. I would love to hear from you. Mistakes: Next time, I'll bring masking tape to cover up logos or other identifying marks on people's clothing if need be. Recorded w/Go-Pro. Edited w/PowerDirector. The views addressed here are mine and mine alone, and are not necessarily shared by members of my family and friends. #StreetEpistemology #Atheism #Magnabosco #BenefitOfDoubt #Doubting #SeedsOfDoubt Deconversion #NewAtheist #AnthonyMagnabosco
