'YouTube Reinstates Pat Condell' by Richard Dawkins - RichardDawkins.net This man, Pat Condell, was banned from YouTube for awhile after people complained he was offensive. And sure, he's a bit prickly and has a beef with the Saudis but this is one of the least offensive things I've seen on You Tube.

''A clergyman in charge of education for the country's leading scientific organisation – it's a Monty Python sketch," pronounced Britain's top atheist, Richard Dawkins, recently. How the world turns. In the days of Galileo it was the church that went around persecuting scientists. Now the boot appears to be on the scientific foot. That is how it must feel, at any rate, to Professor Michael Reiss who...

Via PZ, an odd complaint against Richard Dawkins: In times of turbulence, the human being is little different from the vole or the dormouse. It will take shelter where it can. No amount of superior lecturing from an anti-Christ, not even one with so important a title as his, will alter that.

Now here are some more names that you need to know: Ravi Zacharias, Alister McGrath, Timothy Paul Jones, and Dinesh D’Souza,...

Succumbing to a global reaction against religion, fomented by the likes of Richard Dawkins, God has announced a "strategic repositioning" of the Heaven brand, and has agreed to take a "less hands-on" approach to omnipotence. God has come under increasing levels of criticism in recent years, frequently along the lines of "If he's all-powerful, why does he let all those bad things happen?". In response,...

I have a very strained relationship with religion in general and with Judaism (the religion I grew up with) in particular. I’m an athiest, somewhere beyond Richard Dawkins and Douglas Adams but not quite as cranky as Christopher Hitchens. My own personal beliefs are closer to Zen Buddhism and maybe someday I’ll have the courage [...]

... Maherly Fair . (Hat tip, Paul Davis.) I found this interesting: Maher serves on the board of Sam Harris’s Reason Project with Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, which directly links him with the three biggest atheist intellectuals in the world. Of course, Bill Maher is also on the board of PETA, thinks milk is poisonous, and has stated that he doesn’t believe in vaccination or that Louis...

... He who has a why to live can bear almost any how . ... if religious imagery were only a consolation to believers then, presumably, non-believers would feel less pain when gazing on their beloved figures too. But is anyone suggesting that, say, a picture of Richard Dawkins would ease the suffering of atheists? I certainly think that ought to be looked into - "scientifically."
