1. Palin: average isn't good enough

Bearing in mind that Palin could realistically become US President,this video is particularly frightening. If McCain wins and the most economically and militarily powerful country in the world continues to be run and supported by religious crackpots,the future of America depicted in the movie Idiocracy will slowly become reality!

2. Richard Dawkins Interview on TVOntario

Is Jordan Peterson really a professor of a bone fide university? His arguments were so illogical as to be unbecoming of university professor.

I often find myself asking similar questions. Are people who have such impressive resumes deluded or are they cynically cashing on the fact that there's a lot of cash to be made siding with religion? Dinesh D'Souza particularly fills me with despair. How can somebody who graduated Phi Beta Kappa(Love of learning is the guide of life) be so intellectually bankrupt?

BTW whenever I listen to Richard defending atheism I have a kind of inner voice that is telling me what a religious person is hearing and I feel myself wincing as I know these people do not have the intellect to understand and fully comprehend the points he is making. Does anybody else get this?

3. Shaw TV Interview with Richard Dawkins

I enjoyed this interview a lot. I think some of the criticism of the interviewer is a bit harsh. She was asking questions that may have seemed simple but they allowed Richard to make his points well. I loved the part about New Orleans,'judicious heart attack',great stuff.

Churchill, a far worse warmonger than Hitler

Yet more nonsense. Is this the same Churchill that fretted when having to sign death warrants as Home Secretary?

As for the show Richard summed up my feelings entirely when he said he was astonished at the ridiculous comments regarding the Devil. I couldn't believe Nicky Campbell didn't turn to the camera and say the show was over due to the utter stupidity of what was being said!
