On a more serious note, by total coincidence (or is it ) this is in Amazon's Daily Kindle Deals list, I happened to see the email a moment ago.
The Reason for God: Belief in an age of scepticism eBook: Keller, Timothy: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store
I have not read it and have no idea what it says but Tim is quite well regarded, if anyone is interested in apologetics (personally I'm not). If nothing else, better to be able to dismantle your opponents actual arguments rather than those you ascribe to him - or simply understanding other viewpoints is always a good thing in my book. 99p.
Others, including some of our more well-read atheists, can probably suggest better books.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I would expect that if you counted all the atheists who think Dawkins is a jumped up attention-seeker and divided that number by the total number of atheists, it would come to less than 0.5. It seems reasonable given the likely number of atheists who have never heard of Dawkins, or who have heard of him and don't have an opinion about him, or who do have an opinion about him but a different opinion. Of course I could be wrong.Comment

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostSometimes it's interesting to read these things. But TBH, there is no more evidence for the Christian god than there is for the machine elves of hyperspace, so why bother trying to reason with people who believe things are true when there is no evidence for them (except to cretin-bait them of course if that's your thing).
JC enjoyed life, and enjoyed food and wine. It spoke with fallen women and he did not preach in a church or temple.
He was on the side of humble people. It's a pity that his doctoring was corrupted by the church."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Matthew 10
11 Whatever town or village you enter, search there for some worthy person and stay at their house until you leave. 12 As you enter the home, give it your greeting. 13 If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. 14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. 15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.Comment
