1. Dawkins: a theologian's perspective

Comment #261090 by Gibsnag on October 6, 2008 at 12:18 pm

I stopped reading after:

"For example, several philosophers have pointed out that it is hard to imagine human language appearing through a simple process of genetic evolution. Evolutionary process would normally expect a new ability to have appeared one individual first: however, it is impossible for language to be individual - it has to involve at least two people who converse together. "

Who gives a fuck what Philosophers think about Evolutionary Theory?

*whoosh*

Yeah that was you, missing the point Mr Hedges.

3. Atheism's Wrong Turn

Comment #93227 by Gibsnag on December 2, 2007 at 1:01 pm

Tbh I stopped reading after this:

"Philosopher Daniel Dennett shares Dawkins's hostility to religious education"

Clearly a massive mis-representation. Dennet has in fact proposed mandatory religious education for all US children (I would assume similar to what we have in the UK). What he opposes is religious indoctrination which, correct me if I'm wrong, is very different from religious education.

4. Tony Blair: Mention God and you're a 'nutter'

Hrm, grown adult taking orders from his invisible friend.

I think the "nutter" label would be justified.

5. Don't write off religion - it can be the key to a stable family

It staggers me that people can continually stereotype Atheism and in doing so complain that Atheists are stereotyping them. If anything stereotyping of Atheism has become... a major new religious stereotype. Urgh...
