Thought this was worth sharing. Stephen just posted it.

A New World Order

Listened to Sean Faircloth this Sunday afternoon. Much appreciated his analysis of the rising Christian Right in Canada as in America. Compelling and affirmative of the basic position I have maintained in this gathered circle of perspective.

 

Today's talk may appear online in the time to come. Till then, here is a lecure congruent with the lecture I heard to day. The key concepts and phrases expressed in this lecture were also expressed in the Kamloops lecture.

A road movie that isn't about a rock band tour

Saw this clip on the Globe's website. It's a promo for a new documentary that follows a speaking tour by Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins both, as I think we know well around here, scientists who are outspoken advocates for atheism.

Richard Dawkins goes off on Romney and Mormonism

Gotta love it when Dawkins gets on a roll. He made a series of tweets on Sunday, about Mitt Romney and Mormonism. Here are the tweets:

 

Richard Dawkins wrote:
A gullible fool can still be a good rock star. But can a gullible fool be a good President of the world's most powerful country?

 

Richard Dawkins wrote:
"For behold I say unto you there be many things to come . . ." That's not 19thC English. Romney's prophet Joseph Smith was an obvious fraud

Richard Dawkins in Playboy

No centerfold. Promise.

 

Below is a good interview with Dawkins, right from Playboy, which everyone reads for the articles.

 

Note that there are NSFW (not safe for work) though strategicaly blocked (technically non-nude) images in the menu and background, and of course, at the Playboy site you're one click away from naked ladies. But the interview is quite good, and worth sharing.

Not Just Religion

I'd like to communicate further that it is not just the claims of religion which I do not accept, but all supernatural claims.  Richard Dawkins has made a two-part film called "The Enemies of Reason" which can be viewed on-line.  Here's part one:

(Part two should be listed there somewhere).
