The line where he says it's a light hearted wlk through the sound reason of the book had me laughing.

Let us hope that the show does not include female dancers wearing sexy knickers, if so then feminists will be boycotting the show & writing to the Gruaniad.

Why would it feature women with sexy knickers? I read the book years ago and can't remember such things being mentioned - I could be wrong I suppose.

Sounds like a fun show, certainly a novel idea. Wonder if it will be televised.

Elton knows the answer to that one.

NS - if it is a success a musical version will follow.

We had a lecture here recently by a woman about sexy knickers. I’m not sure that Christianity Today picked up on it though.

Well I enjoyed that, was like a little walk back in time.

Quote

I have to confess that I too found reading The God Delusion a life changing experience. Not because I was persuaded by its arguments – which are largely a rehash of Bertrand Russell's Why I am not a Christian. In fact as atheist books go it's an embarrassment to many thinking atheists (there are some!). Prospect magazine which had earlier voted Dawkins as one of the top three intellectuals in the world had a scathing review: 'It has been obvious for years that Richard Dawkins had a fat book on religion in him, but who would have thought him capable of writing one this bad? Incurious, dogmatic, rambling and self-contradictory, it has none of the style or verve of his earlier works.'

Amen Brother, Amen.

It's an interesting book, but really Dickie D. should stick to zoology, where he is an acknowledged world authority, and leave philosophy to philosophers.

In Humph's fantasy world any show worth its salt has women in sexy knickers.

The God Delusion isn't about philosophy. Have you even read it?

Robbie · « **Reply #24 on:** February 24, 2018, 03:52:57 PM »

I've read it and, from memory, Dawkins does philosophise in the book.
