Religion

The Four Horsemen Discussions with Richard Dawkins

On the 30th of September 2007, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens sat down for a first-of-its-kind, unmoderated 2-hour discussion, convened by RDFRS and filmed by Josh Timonen. All four authors have recently received a large amount of media attention for their writings against religion - some positive, and some negative. In this conversation the group trades stories of the public's reaction to their recent books, their unexpected successes, criticisms and common misrepresentations. They discuss the tough questions about religion that face the world today, and propose new strategies for going forward.

Religion and child abuse

A few weeks ago I discovered that my brother-in-law became a born again idiot. He has given his heart to the invisible sky fairy and joined the ranks of those mindless zombies that we call Christians. All well and good. If he wants to believe in fairy tails then that is his own business. I might find it worthy of ridicule, but it is still his right and who am I to stop him. A problem has arisen however, as he seems determined to take my niece and nephew strolling down the yellow brick road as well.
