Interesting and disturbing.

I hope Reza Aslan reads the book!

What a depressing article.. if only they could actually interview Dawkins to get his views (or just read his book with an open mind) so they could stop completely misrepresenting him.

4. 'God Is Not a Moderate'

"I like Sullivan. I read his blog regularly because he's the only conservative I've read who seems to have some intellectual integrity concerning his positions (even if I don't agree with them)."

I have seen people write about Sullivan's "intellectual honesty" so much since learning who he was with this debate. But after reading that he was one of the worst offenders of calling people "appeasers" and other derogatory terms for opposing the Iraq war I can't say I have much respect for him. I don't care if he can admit he was wrong now, because that hardly takes rocket science!

The supposed intellectual honesty has been completely non-existent from him in this debate.

That latest post of his about the heart transplants and souls just goes to show how immune to argument he is.

5. My critics are wrong to call me dogmatic

I took a look and couldn't see any good arguments of why the God of the Bible is true while Allah, the Greek gods or any others are not. Other than the implied dismissal of them being false gods or myths or delusions. You may see it as a "cheap point" but I don't, and I assume nearly everyone on this site wouldn't either.

stpetes:

Where is the rest of your letter? You wrote all of that and only addressed Dawkins first paragraph! Do you have anything to say on the meat of the issue?

7. Discussion of The God Delusion

When I saw the promo for the program I was hopeful of a good discussion, but it was so disappointing.

I expected a lot more from the host, Jennifer Byrne. I got the feeling that she didn't want to out herself as an atheist or have a go at religion to avoid the grief. That could just be me projecting too much though :-)

God damn Greer is annoying.
