2. Kr for one of the driest and cleverest Wildean quips from a pompous rake who could never
be called dry.

3. hypocrits
to use a Biblical term.

Dawkins refuses to debate Christian theologan William Lane Craig on the claim he 'supports genocide' as Craig says 'God' was right to exterminate the Canaanites ( a Bible tale that may or may not be true) but he openly supports and shares a stage with Christopher Hitchens whose numerous Iraq invasion editorials claimed it was a "war to be proud of".

(do not underestimate the how support of war so-called intellectuals like Hitchens gave, encouraged the Bush regime.)

Unlike the Canaanites tale the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis and the destruction of their country, the displacement of over 1 million Iraqis is not a myth.

Go figure.

4. Hitchens should have known better than to support Shrub's war.
Many had a high opinion of him before that because of his dislike for people like Henry Kissinger. Not so afterwards One wonders why he went off the deep end there.

5. Maybe Hitchen's take on the Iraq War
was colored by the massive U.S. tax payer funded propaganda effort (lies) by the Bush Administration. If one believed the U.S. government, Iraq was poised to strike us with a nuclear weapon at any moment. Think back to that time. I'm sure Hitchens now understands how wrong his position on the war was.

Fuck a bunch of "Christian theologians". Christian theologians have very little substantive to say. And I mean that most sincerely.

6. "William Lane Craig"???
Edited on Sun Nov-13-11 10:45 AM by SkyDaddy7
He is a very dishonest person who tries to play word games in debates. Having said that, Dawkins has shared a stage with him in the past & so have other rationally thinking people & they all tear his arguments apart!

Here is to hoping Christopher Hitchens defies the odds & survives his battle with cancer...I may not agreed with his view on Iraq but I still like the guy & hope he survives.

7. Dawkins refuses to debate Christian theologan William Lane Craig
Edited on Sun Nov-13-11 12:42 PM by AlbertCat
Boy... that was one of the dumbest posts ever.

You don't get his humor at all, do you? You cannot tell when his tongue is firmly placed in his cheek.


Dawkins refuses to debate Christian theologan William Lane Craig... because he is an idiot, with no understanding of what science really is or reveals.



I'd like to hear the rest of this conversation. It's so refreshing the hear adults talking with sense and reason. Especially during election season!


Of course it costs £5.00 for the whole thing. (they're not stupid!)
