Program on atheism today

[sasguru]

8 pm on Channel 4. Ron Liddle tries to attack atheism but ends up getting tied up in logical knots (as you must when you attack a reasonable position). Luckily Dawkins is around to clarify the situation.

Love it when fools get shown up ...he he

I greatly sympathise woth Dawkins and his dogged patience in refuting people who IMHO are not worth it, but personally I lean to Jonathan Miller's view: I'm not an atheist, like some kind of "ist" as if it were a religion itself that I want to proselytise. I just don't believe in god, or have any use for the idea.

There are things we don't know
Those things, some say, are the work of 'God'
There will always be things we don't know
Therefore there will always be God.
