1. Debate between Christopher Hitchens and Alister McGrath

Is it me or does McGrath spend a lot of time dancing around behind the mic? Is it Red Bull or something more sinister?

But yeah, good argument from Hitchens! I haven't read any of his books though, mores the pity.

Good article, although I would like to have seen Christianity addressed as much as Islam was.

3. Interview with Richard Dawkins and John Cornwell

Yet again we have a religious person twisting the words of an obviously intelligent man to try and "get 1-up" on him. It seems to me like in their heart of hearts, they know they're wrong but they're too thickheaded to admit it. Hence the fact that this Cornwell bloke obviously read what he wanted to read rather than the actual words on the page.

Example:
One of the point Cornwell makes against TGD is that Dawkins says that all moderates are potential extremists.

It would have been shriekingly obvious to him that that was not what Dawkins had said, had he read the book properly. Dawkins says that moderation is the mask which hides extremism because of this, to be quite frank, stupid stigma that says criticising religion is wrong "just because."

Oh, and Cornwell has clearly never read his beloved bible if he talks about people turning INTO extremists and hijacking religion. How many times does it say in the bible that the penalty for such and such a crime, including things as trivial as cursing at your parents is being stoned to death? Hmmm...
