1. Interview with Dan Dennett

Comment #167991 by rchoquette on April 24, 2008 at 1:10 pm

Damn good work!

I always learn so much from Professor Dennett; we all learn from him, incredibly so!

He is working so hard to contribute to the advancement of our species.

The great collective of those to whom he imparts this valuable perspective, us, and others, will most certainly have a profound impact in the long term.

2. Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher

This was a wonderful way to start my weekend.

I like Maher's shows. He is always quite entertaining; he is quite open about his atheism. Leave it to Maher, he brings out the best. Dawkins was quite amusing; very elegantly so. I like that!

Dawkins was quite correct in his statement regarding the recent converts to atheism:

Yes, in fact, I am among those folks, that Dawkins mentioned about, who did not realize that I had been an atheist, for quite a number of years, until I read Dawkins "God Delusion" book. Now I find this to be quite sentimental, that Dawkins is so well attuned to his readers.

Wow!

3. Get out of here, atheists!

Damn!

Listening to this Audio gave me chills; and in hearing this official bashing of atheists; I never dreamed that I would witness such display of Ignorance in an official capacity.

Now when ignorance has become this vehemently officiated, really now, it is such an embarassment to our country. Do we really have that many bumbling idiots running our country?

Shit!

4. Happy Birthday, Richard Dawkins!

Dear Professor Dawkins:

Your achievements over the last 67 years are an inspiration to us all; and for many decades / centuries to come.

I wish you well in your endeavors. When I turn 67, you will 92. I can only imagine what you will achieve between now and your centennial birthday.

Your achievements will outlive all of us!

Thank you!

Robert.

5. Lying for Jesus?

Damn! This article is good as hell!

Being an Artist myself, I was quite saddened by the conduct of the Arts community, namely the Hollywood community, for pulling such a deceptive stunt like this on all of these great scientists. What? Just to make some money?

What Hollywood forgets is that the works of AUTHORS and LITERARY ARTISTS and SONGWRITERS and POETS have a much longer shelf life than any Hollywood film.

I guess what I am trying to say is this: other artists, who are atheist, like me, can play the "anti-creationist" artflag just as well as the Expelled crew did. Basically, two can play that game; and the exact opposite at that.

Make sense? Anyone?

I'm not feeling to well right now...

6. Feb 12th: Happy Darwin Day!

Darwin would be very proud of you Professor Dawkins!

We appreciate all of your hard work!

Happy Darwin Day!

7. NEXT MONDAY: Bill O'Reilly interviews Richard Dawkins

Comment #33248 by rchoquette on April 19, 2007 at 5:15 pm

I am of the opinion that if Dawkins can handle Ted Haggard, he can handle O'Reilly in like manner!

I am not an O'Reilly viewer, or a fan; however, I will be viewing the program this Monday.

Really now, the "conservative, evangelical" hornets-nest here in the USA needs a really good kicking; and I think that Professor Dawkins being on O'Reilly should initiate this task. I am quite confident that Professor Dawkins will succeed (as he always has).

What is so unique about Professor Dawkins being on this show is that he will not be "preaching to the choir", so to speak, although most of us I'm sure will tune in!

The regular "conservative, evangelical" viewers of the O'Reilly program are of the very "hornets-nest" here in the USA that needs a "good kicking". No matter how ludicrous the O'Reilly Factor actually is, or that of its "conservative, evangelical" viewers, Dawkins will not be "preaching to the choir" – and that's the point!

I think Professor Dawkins will be well suited for the task; and hopefully, this will lead to steps in opening Pandora's Box on Religion here in the USA!

**
Disclaimer – I am NOT implying that ALL the viewers of O'Reilly are of the "conservative, evangelical" hornets-nest; just a few million of them!

BTW, you can kick a real hornets-nest (without getting stung) if you're "leathered up from head to toe"!

If you've read this far, then you can call me Robert!

Cheers!

- Belief Paradox -

All Deities demand the non-belief of competing Deities.

Amongst the Deities in competition for the non-belief of their counterparts;
Mathematically, the Deities cancel out belief altogether, caving in on itself; the result is non-belief, thus a balanced equation.

It looks like the Deities left a loophole for non-belief. If they were of Divine origin, they should have known this. Actually, they didn't think about this because the inventors of the Deities are the ones that left the loophole.
