Oh man. Boteach and now this.
There's something poignantly oxymoronic about "a dictatorship ruled by reason," no?

2. Richard Dawkins on The Alan Colmes Show

That last caller was something else.
It's as if he's never heard of a historic precedent for politicians to use religion as a means to control people...but I suppose that comes from a lifetime of reading doctored textbooks that would make the North Korean authorities blush.

It's also great to see Professor Dawkins loosening up a bit in interviews. At least by the sound of his voice, it seems he's having more fun.

3. Hitchens and Boteach Debate on God

Anyone else catch that bit where Shmuley talks about how Christopher Hitchens has a four-word name for the force that propels the universe, while his idea of that same force contains three?
I was honestly confused for a moment. I thought the rabbi was actually on the brink of landing a joke that'd get the audience to laugh for once with something about The Flying Spaghetti Monster (4 words), but alas, it was merely his temper getting the best of his vocabulary, thus leading him to confuse "word" with "letter."
Oh well. Keep it classy, Mr. Hitchens.
Mr. Boteach, you should retreat back to whatever dimly lit place you came from. Please do not forget to pack up your reams of bogus half-science, your defamations of Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Dawkins, etc, and your childish histrionics as you go.
Along with your Grossly Obsolete Deity (three words).
