1. Why There Almost Certainly Is a God, By Keith Ward

Ward seems to be one of Dawkins's more informed critics. He's read the God Delusion's table of contents, which easily puts him in the top ten percent.

2. Richard Dawkins infected with Satanic 'virus of mind', Christian group claims

For more insight into Stephen Green's character, read this letter to The Telegraph:

It's an absolute masterpiece of paranoia and affected victimhood.

I wish I could ask those guys what they think of twins! Twining occurs well after this 'soul infusion' - around 2 weeks or so. You can actually create a twin experimentally by dividing the blastodisc in half. Did I just cut a soul in half??

Lord Voldemort managed to do it. Then again, the plot of Harry Potter was far more grounded in reality than Christian theology.

4. Oxford's Christian colleges 'are not suitable for school-leavers'

"It is an indication that the atheistic creed, preached by dons such as Richard Dawkins, is in the ascendancy."

Is there any evidence whatsoever that the decision follows from the "acendancy" of an "atheistic creed"? The report simply states that these colleges offer very little in the way of a real education, and that regardless of subject, they should improve or stop taking students.

I doubt Richard Dawkins had anything to do with the report. Does he even have any kind of university-wide administrative role?

How exactly is marriage supposed to protect from STDs? If a man is infected with the virus, and then marries a Good Little Catholic Girl, how is she supposed to avoid catching it?

Perhaps they believe that Jesus magically cleanses you of all viruses on your wedding day? (If so, that would be one of their more sensible beliefs.)
