Certainly not looking good for Krauss's immediate future.

The beginning of the end for atheism?? It will not affect my disbelief in a God one iota.

He's a humorous and irreverent fellow, so he may well have made sexist jokes. I just hope the more serious allegations aren't true.

Sam Harris and Matt Dillahunty had to do an event in Phoenix, Arizona 2 weeks ago without Lawrence Krauss due to the allegations.

BuzzFeed Wrote:On stage, Harris said that the speakers made a mutual decision that Krauss would not appear, but stressed that “it should not signify to you that we are taking a position with respect to the truth of those allegations.”

“The decision came down to this: If Lawrence were here, he would want to deny all of those allegations. He would certainly say that that article was filled with lies, and then we would be forced to try to change the subject and have a conversation about physics or whatever else,” Harris said. “That seemed to risk being a farce.”

I must say I was looking forward to hearing these 3 atheist-intellectuals in conversation.

He's a prominent white male figure in acedamia...might as well have target painted on his back. He may be as much of an ass as me but he is still innocent until proven guilty.
