CBS Sunday Morning with Julia Sweeney and Christopher Hitchens
I think Julia Sweeney is terrific. Her ‘Letting Go of God’ monologue was one of the most amusing de-conversion stories I’ve ever heard and I’m delighted that it’s due out as a film. It’s definitely one to look out for but in the meantime the monologue is […]

2. “Whoever voted for evolutionists, well I am sorry we have new evidence, the Theory of Relativity, that points toward a young earth. Who said Christians are again science, I never […]

Look, even Richard Dawkins is at it! THIS HAS GOT TO STOP! Stay strong Richard, stay strong!

“Atheism provides no answer to this dilemma. It cannot reply: “Obey your evolutionary instincts” […]
