Just on the Pell vs Dawkins exchange...
I chatted to an ex-colleague (a 'spiritual' Dutch guy living in Oz) a while ago and mentioned how my eyebrows raised at the amount of applause that Pell received. I wondered if they had bused in all the Aussie catholics for the show.
He mused about how Pell made so much sense. I pointed out that Pell had actually lied, bare-faced, on camera.
What kind of morality is that? The pious lie?
My friend, of course, was too heavily invested in his views to do any fact-checking.
Methinks there is a term for that behaviour.
