owen652 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Not sure if this is the right section or not, oh well who cares. Richard Dawkins is here for the Global Atheist Convention. On Monday he slugged it out on Q&A with Cardinal George Pell. http://www.abc.net.au/tv/qanda/txt/s3469101.htm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owen652 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Just finished watching it, shame he didn't have a better opponent than old George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackpudd1n Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Just finished watching it, shame he didn't have a better opponent than old George. Or better questions from the audience. I was really disappointed. Half of the questions and arguments put to him he'd already bloody dealt with in his book, The God Delusion. I was also embarrassed by the rudeness of some audience members. Damn he must get tired of the same old questions and arguments all the time.

Damn he must get tired of the same old questions and arguments all the time. yeah, you could tell he was a bit like, 'what am i doing here?', especially when George would just continually miss the point or say something totally random or irrelevant. I think dementia is setting in. He writes a weekly column in the Sun Herald in which he invariably moans about the terrible state of Australian society because of increasing secularisation. It was funny though when he started one his stories with, "We were preparing some young boys...." and the audience cracked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Dawkins couldn't help laughing, That was just classic. I loved the bit where Dawkins just bursts out with, "that is ridiculous!" lol. I've never seen him lose his cool before, but you could tell he was jetlagged and just not in the mood for bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Margee Posted April 14, 2012 Moderator Share Posted April 14, 2012 I loved it owen! The priest was sooooooo boring - he got right on my nerves!! I loved the exact moment (56 minutes to be exact) when he stated, 'Creation is messy'???? I mean....he was talking about god here!!! He didn't say anything to convince me to go back to worshipping any god I'm always waiting for someone to say something that might force me to re-think things in these debates. Nobody ever does. I love watching Dawkins. I think he is cool. Thanks for posting this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
