Would the world be better of without religion?

And again A.C. Grayling did a smashing job there.

Loved how angry the Bishop got when Dawkins made the comment about "There may be a leprechaun" , i wish Dawkins had the chance to explain the idea further to him.

Also loved the Bishop saying Dakwins never displays uncertainty to which Dawkins replies 'The title of chapter 4 in my book, the god delusion, is "why there is almost certainly no god"

A.C's joke about the comic strip was also very cool.

So many ad hominem attacks from the douche, can't remember his name.

That would be the debate they just went to see, VOID

The debate Darwinian linked is a different debate from the one your are talking about (although also worth watching!)

For someone who is supposed to be a personal friend of Dawkins, the guy didn't seem to know many of his arguments. The other guy was just a moron

Funny how the Marxist perspective doesn't provide an alternative to social cohesion besides religion. Typical of functionalism to say that a unifying system is necessary for solidarity since who could ever imagine a world with a society dedicated to art, biology, mathematics, sport, etc. Why, it would be chaos!
an unfortunate interview of Dawkin's where the questions posed by Denton are idiotic.
They run a half hour interview while Denton's "prepared" questions address Dawkin's interpretation.
(1/3) Unless you feel strongly about R. Dawkins work, I wouldn't bother.

Made the link for you.

Legendary !!

My favourite part of the debate was indeed that bit where the Bishop said the Dawkst0r never shows any uncertainty... and then Dawkins simply quoted the title of the 4th chapter of his book (that he also stated in the book as being the chapter that contained his central argument).
