[James C. Bennett]

My point was more towards the renown atheists - people like Hitchens and Dawkins. Have they made it a practice to conduct formal debates with prominent Muslims? How about Buddhists or Hindis? Have any of them written books criticizing polytheistic religions like they have the monotheistic Christian faith? I don't believe I have ever heard or seen them do so, so it does bring up the question of why, don't you think?

You really should read more. Here are some videos to help, for starters:

Geert Wilders' Fitna: http://youtu.be/BgQdZgojOFI

(Geert Wilder has received death threats for this movie about Islam.)

And then we have Salman Rushdie, Taslima Nasrin, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, all ex-Muslims, critical of Islam, with each of them receiving death threats.

You really should quit making bogus, empty, unjustified judgments about these people.

Bearing false witness is wrong. Have you forgotten that?

Geert Wilder is a great read....he’s been fighting and debating Islam for sometime now...but purly from a secular standpoint...but he is right thus far nonthe less.

Dawkins has gone off the deep end now...., greatly disappointing many in the science community and such.I certainly wouldnt put much weight into what he says now. He’s caught up in the NEw Age mumbo jumbo.....

.....even the brightest minds, who travel long without Christ...will fall for the nonesense that’s out there. Just a matter of time once they reject Christ....and Dawkins did just that and then fell for nonesense hook line and sinker....of late he’s said some pretty off the wall nonesense....since he “changed”...his approach to all things scientific etc. What a loss!

Like I said, I was not aware that they did. Thanks for the links. I am quite aware that lying is wrong, does this mean you admit certain ethics are intrinsic now? How does that work in the no absolutes, no objective morality world view?
