Apart from the fact that the subject matter was hogwash, it's stunningly badly written.<br /><br />I caught bits of the documentary myself, and thought it was reasonably good, and fairly well-balanced, making the point that fundamentalism and extremism of <i>any</i> kind, be it religious or not, can have extremely nasty results, and that we run into trouble as soon as we become so convinced we're right that we deny others the right to disagree with us.<br /><br />Moderation and tolerance are good things.<br /><br />I get heartily sick of people harping on about evolution and whether it proves or disproves God or not, it seems such a pointless discussion.<br /><br />I think Richard Dawkins does atheism a great disservice by his extremely spiteful attitude towards religious people, and I'd have a lot more respect for him if he wasn't so nasty and vindictive. Likewise, I've got no time for Christians who delight in telling atheists that they're all going to burn in hell.<br /><br />Let's play nicely, boys and girls. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08720301874091407984noreply@blogger.com
