51. Richard Dawkins on The Late Edition with Marcus Brigstocke

Comment #109847 by Roy_H on January 9, 2008 at 11:01 pm

"Comment #109844 by mdowe on January 9, 2008 at 10:40 pm I thought Professor Dawkins looked just a little uncomfortable -- like someone that felt out of place. Perhaps it was just the cold."

Yes I think he would have been better off sat in front of a fire with a mug of hot milk with a spoonful of honey and a tot of whisky in it. what a complete waste of Richard's valuable time!

On the other hand, I see Teflon Tony has now become a fully fledged Roman Catholic.

That news reminded me of this beautiful spoof that was done just before the 2005 election.

Comment #101998 by Roy_H on December 21, 2007 at 11:16 am

I am a bit baffled about all this to say the least. Tom Harpur has blown Christianity out of the water, but he is still practicing as an Anglican Priest?
P.S. I want that book!

I have just been talking to a lady in our local supermarket. She was telling me about a relative of hers who is married to an Iranian gentleman. They wanted to go back to Iran but the authorities refused because they objected to the name they had given to their daughter. the name of their little girl? Persia!

I can remember our local vicar telling me that the Adam and Eve story was a fairy tale when I was a small boy. I think it was in about 1965! I just cannot believe that the country that put a man on the moon 4 years after that event still believes such drivel.

I enjoyed every minute of that video. I hear that Derren has just landed a job in Antarctica selling refridgerators .......

I posted a link to the video on another forum, I only got one response, but an interesting one. The reply was to the effect "This is an example of flawed logic, i.e. Derren could convince you that you had a pain in your leg, even though you really did not, but that does not mean that physical pain itself is false and does not exist."

That page is hilarious! The skit on Alister McGrath is precious e.g.

"Many of the reporters and faculty members were amazed at how Alister McGrath was simultaneously capable of proving God's existence and the veracity of Christianity as a doctrine of literal fact by way of rhetorical phrasing often reserved for psychiatric patients, verbally-challenged schizophrenics and psychotic obscurantists under clinical observation."

"Wishy-washy", what a good adjective! How often I have endured a church service ( funeral, christening etc. ) looked at the priest and thought to myself:- "Does this guy really know what the heck he is talking about?" and more importantly, "Does he really believe it?"

I think my sister went to the Richard Dawkins school of wit. We used to trade with a local butcher, but after having suffered one or two ropy joints of beef from his shop we decided to go and find a new butcher. Soon afterwards, our old butcher died.On hearing the news, my sister with her rapier like wit commented "It must have been something he ate!"

Comment #44408 by Roy_H on May 24, 2007 at 2:44 pm

I heard a strange story ( I am told it is true but to me it sounds straight out of "Father Ted" actually)
A vicarage got stuck by lightening but the insurance company would not pay up because they said "It was an act of God" and the property had not been insured for such claims! Anyway, after the not inconsiderable damage to the roof was repaired, the priest felt like going on holiday (and who can blame him ) so he and 2 other priests decided to go skiing the Swiss Alps.While they were there, they got caught in a thunderstorm, lightening struck, the priest who had his house damaged got away unhurt but his 2 companions were killed!

It might never enter the food chain, but it may cough all over the grass and a wandering badger may pick it up and cough on someone else's grass and give their cattle TB, which is probably how that bull got it in the first place. By the way, I do know what I am talking about, I grew up on a farm.
