Did anyone see the show last night on channel 4. As a very very vaguely religious person, I found it excellent and pretty much spot on.

a colleague here was saying the guy who did has definately got a price on his head now. the bbc forum was filled with hatred for him afterwards.

It wasn't great.
I agree totally but he wasn't saying anything that no forward thinking person (in my mind) already thinks. I've shared his opinion for years.Personally I believe in the teapot. He was more spot on there than anywhere else. Tea fucking rules, and I dont care if some bearded chap thinks sitting around drinking tea is no soloution to anything. Islam wont rule the world. Oxford Scholars will.
Hurrah!

I watched it, even though it clashed with university challenge.
Richard Dawkins is the man. He came to my school to give us a lecture when I was doing A levels.
He made some good points but he didn't do himself any favours. The whole program was about how science is better than religion because it is based on fact and doesn't always think it's right – science corrects itself as it goes along. But Dawkins gave a very one sided view of things. And the american pastor he interviewed was an idiot who obviously came across accordingly.
If he had interview the archbishop of canterbury who seems like an intelligent guy he may have had a more interesting debate.
I agree with Dawkins on the whole but he gets too angry when science is questioned, makes him look bad

I saw it, was good, but nothing that a lot of us hadn't already decided for ourselves.
Richard Dawkin (presenter) has written some great books, you should read "The Digital River", fascinating.

it's a two part sries - 2 is on next monday.
That pastor was some freaky fucker with too much power. I love the way funda-mental christians get all confused and angry when you ask them to question their beliefs. they know if they even let the concept of denying the holy spirit cross their minds they be on a one way ticket to hell. so they lash out and tell you to 'GET OFF MY PROPERTY"

I couldn't work out what was scarier, what he was saying or the lips he was using to say it.
And that fundamentalist muslim who was formerly a fundamentalist jew...he freaked me.
- v3nt0
wow. a funda mus who used to be a funda jew! talk about bipolar!
- ********0
he was just spouting all the typical fundamentalist discourse, nothing special really. Infact, if you didn't know he was jewish, you would never have known.

It really is ok to believe in something you can't see.
