No... no... ssssoundcard! *sniff* :cry:

AC Grayling does rock though - I used to love his spot in the New Scientist! (Also have one book but can't remember which - all separate little chunks about 'stuff').

Moore seems to think that if he repeats "Atheist Fundamentalism" often enough, people will believe him. "Tell them the big lie", Goebbels said.

:lol: Charles Moore thinks that theists see an undefined 'love' when they look out into the universe which is denied us poor closed minded atheists.

And he wonders why we think he's an asshead.
