One strange dude...

Click here: The God Delusion. By Richard Dawkins - Books - Review - New York Times

We had RichDawk on ThinkTank a few years ago.

He said God is a silly myth, Now how does he know that?

I said that the great sociological journal USA Tooday, which records pop sociology about as well as anyone, had reported on a survey that showed that people who wer Believers lived longer healthier lives.

He snorted, and said "Rubbish ! ( or somesuch).

I asked how he would think about the matter, if it meant that his children might live longer and healthiers lives.

He was truly angry, and emotion that has show up only rarely on TT's 12 years + history.

For my money, TT may well be the single best source of the political, geo-political, demographic material of our time.

Lots there as well about music, art, sports etc. Watch for future poats.
