“Even a second-rate atheist despot like Pol Pot killed more people in a month than the Inquisition managed to do in three centuries.”

A mere fact lost on those so quick to point out how horrible religion in general, and Christianity in particular, is.

D’Souza is one of the most articulate individuals I’ve watched on television.

We’re seeing a surge of atheist confidence

Them darn atheists should know their place. First the blacks and women got all uppity, now the atheists are doing it too.

and atheist belligerence

That I have to agree with. Dawkins is annoying.

About sixty years ago, there was a radio debate between Lord Russell and the historian of philosophy, Father Copleston. It had two parts, metaphysics and morality. I have read the transcript, and I think that Russell won the metaphysical part. But I was astonished that when they began to discuss morality, Russell had almost nothing to say of consequence. He simply had no grounds are condemning a monster like Hitler. Hitchens and Dawkins are undermined because they are both decent sorts who would not personally hurt a fly. Unlike Nietzsche, Russell, and Heidegger, who called good evil and evil good, and provide a “moral” basis for totalitarianism.

Nor do we shoot nuns doing charity work if we don’t like something the Pope has said recently.

Dawkins is a decent popularizer of science but compared to Kepler, Newton, and Einstein he is a Lilliputian.

This is about as close to a b!tch-slap as you'll find from a fellow like Dinesh D'Souza. LOL.

D’Souza is a real gem.

I remmeber his work way back in the early 80s when he was a kid. My then love was a Colombia doctoral and even she admired him.

Not a good example for the argument. I believe I read somewhere Pol Pot was raised Catholic and attended Catholic school.

Dawkins is an anti-Christian bigot hiding behind his atheism. Hitchens is an anti-Christian bigot who is smart enough to know he will be the first against the wall if the Muslims take over so he cracks on everybody.

Christianity is so great that last night that insipid whiny WUSS Alan Colmes quoted Jesus Christ to try and guilt Ann Coulter into being an “anti semite” who hurt his widdle feelings because she stated she actually believed in the superiority of her beliefs.
