Rum and Reason

I love red state updatae. Jackie and Dunlap fill us in on the latest.

Richard Dawkins appeared in Real Time with Bill Maher last night, and there’s a video up on youtube. Let’s see how long it hangs around for. There’s a lot of controversy over Maher’s reciept of the Richard Dawkins award this year. Read more about that here. Maher may be a nutjob ‘big pharma’ conspiracy theorist, but he made religulous, so we gotta like him just a little don’t we?

I’m a big fan of Tim Kilgore. He’s an ex-Jehovah’s Witness who has devoted his spare time to asking the tough questions on Youtube that the JW’s don’t seem particularly eager to answer. Tim is a new father and a genuine guy who is clearly out to enlighten as opposed to being out to ridicule. You can find Tim’s channel here. Here’s the introduction video to a now 69 part series entitled “Tough Questions for Jehovah’s Witnesses”. Enjoy!

One of my favorite youtube atheists Pat Condell has returned with a video entitled “The arrogance of clergy“. As usual Pat is in fine form, eloquent and insightful with a dash of anger. Preach it Pat! God bless atheism!

Pat offers audio versions of his youtube videos at  http://patcondell.libsyn.com/
