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.

And we’re into round two. Sullivan started strongly landing a few nice jabs on Harris but towards the end of the first round Sullivan was on the ropes. He looked like he was down and out. He struggled to get back into the contest and then was saved by the bell
We’re into the […]

There are some mad people out there. Some believe in ID others in IF and now there’s a new kid on the block. Flat Earth Theory (FET)
I have been told that The Flat Earth Society is completely genuine. No matter how much it makes me laugh apparently this is deadly serious.
A few of the questions […]

I’ve just finished listening to Julia Sweeney’s ‘Letting Go of God’ monologue.
It’s brilliant and had me in tears. She explores her journey from devout Catholicism to atheism. Atheists are often accused of being a little stale or taking atheism too seriously (although of course I disagree) but Julia’s monologue is incredibly funny and full of […]

Britain’s New Cultural Divide
“Britain’s new cultural divide is not between Christian and Muslim, Hindu and Jew. It is between those who have faith and those who do not. Stuart Jeffries reports on the vicious and uncompromising battle between believers and non-believers”

He makes some wonderful points about how ‘believing there is no God’ enriches his life both culturally […]

This is very good
It’s nice to see a different approach.

Do stop behaving as if you are God, Professor Dawkins | the Daily Mail
I’m not really sure whether this deserves a response. We all know where Alister McGrath is coming from. I think he has an issue with Dawkins and perhaps is slightly jealous of his fame and the influence he is having. I find […]

Are sites such as Digg and YouTube Powering Atheism? Yes! But it’s not a bad thing!
I was made aware by a Christian blog about a discussion about atheism and the web going on over at Digg

It’s obvious that […]
