I was listening to the radio at 3 am the other day and this was on BBC overnight. It's an interview with John Lennox (Oxford math professor) and as to why he believes in God. It's a very thorough and logically consistent interview.

Slightly overzealous on the generalisations Rick.
QUOTE Theists can't be moral beings because everything they do is to save their own skins from a vengeful god. Theists can have the same morality as you without it impacting their belief in a Deity. |

QUOTE(trojan_libido @ Jan 28, 2009, 11:46 PM)  Slightly overzealous on the generalisations Rick. Yeah, maybe. But the 19 religious fanatics of 9/11 was a wake-up call. |
