It seems that Pat Robertson lacks curiosity and imagination. You look at the natural world and just say God did it? No study of evolution? Biology? Astronomy? No the christian god will suffice based on nothing but a ridiculous non sequitur and special pleading. He also lacks the imagination to think about the suffering of [...]
It seems that Pat Robertson lacks curiosity and imagination. You look at the natural world and just say God did it? No study of evolution? Biology? Astronomy? No the christian god will suffice based on nothing but a ridiculous non sequitur and special pleading. He also lacks the imagination to think about the suffering of our fellow humans throughout history and today. Just recently over 30 children were burned alive in Mexico and a plane crash took the lives over 200 people in a horrific manner. So while Pat Robertson glories in his full belly and ability to see living children there are many others in this world who are suffering and dying in terrible ways. Does this also point to the christian god?? What theist has the intellectual courage and fortitude to think about the reality of others instead of the disney world of solipsistic personal faith? A good dose of curiosity and imagination can break dogmatic solipsism. Religion is for the living who need delusions- the dead have no need of it.

If there were any doubts about writer and general provocateur Christopher Hitchens ability to pull a crowd, they were entirely dispelled by the sold-out opening night of the first ever Festival of Dangerous Ideas. Presented by the Sydney Opera House and the St James Ethics Centre, the Festival brought together some of the more controversial thinkers from Australia and around the world. Hitchens’s keynote address, followed by a discussion with our own Tony Jones, was an expansion on his bestselling, “God is Not Great: Religion Poisons Everything”. Hitchens was at his polemical best, delivering a beautifully constructed speech supporting his argument that religion is not only completely implausible, but often actively destructive. Christopher Hitchens’s other books include “Letters to a Young Contrarian”, “Why Orwell Matters” and “The Missionary Position: Mother Theresa in Theory and Practice.” He also writes a regular column in “Vanity Fair”.
