In a recent article for the Guardian website, Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, expressed his views on global warming. It seems that the archbish. reckons that the traditional values of his religion can be helpful in dealing with this issue.

Sam made a terrific point about witchcraft in his debate with Chris Hedges. He asked the audience to imagine what it’s like to be him and likened it to those who took issue with burning witches. I thought it was a great conclusion and one I’d not heard from him before. He now expands on […]

I’m just watching Keith Allen Will Burn In Hell on C4 and already it’s providing some good funny moments. The idea behind the program is that he’ll be visiting the Phelps a bit like Louis did a few months ago. Knowing Keith Allen it may be a little more explosive! Anyway, he started off with […]

The full Sam Harris and Chris Hedges ‘Truthdig‘ debate is now online. As always Sam was being Sam, he was magnificent. He’s as witty as ever but really brings his points home. It’s a great debate.
The video and audio files are available on the site here.

Of course evolution is not a lie, and nor is creation a science.
A few days ago I posted a topic stating that I agreed with creationists that evolution was a fallacy and then I asked them to provide verifiable scientific evidence to show why creation was a valid scientific theory.

A generally hard-pressed opponent states that they have felt the Holy Spirit throughout their life and so changing their minds is simply impossible. This is […]

I just had a random thought, it came from nowhere really but here it is. I hope it makes sense, it’s not structured and I’m just thinking aloud.
I could believe in a godlike being that created the universe. I really could. In fact, to some extent, it makes sense to me.
If someone was to […]

Has anyone watched the film Saved? It’s a really interesting movie by Brian Dannelly (who, incidentally, directed a couple of great episodes of Weeds) following a schoolgirl that is demonized by her Christian friends after she becomes pregnant. The story is all the more fascinating because the boy that impregnated her is gay! The idea […]

When I hear this kind of rubbish.
This was a debate featured on ABC Nightline.
The idea was to have Kirk Cameron and his Chuckle Brother comrade prove, scientifically, that God exists. (If you don’t believe me about the Chuckle brother comment check the link, you have to see it to believe it. For anyone in the […]
