The atheism show
Did anybody see 'The Trouble With Atheism'? I've got it recorded, and shall try to watch it in the next few days. Any good points, or just celestial teapots and straw-men?

Now something I found as genius as I found...
Hello!
Hey, thanks for coming! I'm Andrew, and this is where my headthinks come to breed. They often meander around humanism and photography, but they're flighty and you can't trust them, so anything is possible.
Do feel free to email me - I get lonely:

Your hair looks swish, by the way - have you done something new?

I’ve been strangely uninterested in this programme, think it’s cos I fear a rapid fire of cliches and anti-science post modern balls.
Caught the last five mins, got a vague impression the real message was an elite member of the establishment who holds to christianity lite making an “enough already” plea…a sort of okay okay so religion is full of holes but please lay off now cos there’s been some nasty people in history who weren’t religious you know….and if you get your total victory over religion the plebs will get out of hand don’t you know…..(all that from 5 mins….! so I might be horrribly wrong!…will be interested to see your review once you’ve watched it)

Yeah, I don’t hold out much hope! B&W says the word ‘arrogant’ gets used a lot, which always winds me up.
