On this episode of Articulate Experience—four writers discuss the role of God in how they think, and live. Now in his 80s, the poet Billy Collins isn’t waiting for the afterlife to find joy— his heaven is here on earth. John Darnielle left Catholicism more than two decades ago, but the Church’s shortcomings haven’t short-changed his faith. Though Vikram Paralkar maintains a cultural connection to Hinduism, he looks to existentialist philosophers and modern scientists to shape his understanding of the universe.  Carmen Machado was raised in what she describes as “a chill Methodist” household. Today, she’s an atheist, but along the way, explored evangelism.[01:35 ] Billy Collins [16:08 ] John Darnielle[27:51 ] Vikram Paralkar[37:00 ] Carmen MachadoArticulate Experience examines stories of humanity, resilience, and wisdom through the words of some of today’s greatest writers.
