Irrational rationalists? - Nick Baines's blog - Musings of a restless bishop
The world appears a bit weird when Man Utd lose 6-1 at home to Man City. Wonderful (says the Scouser who is worried that two Manchester clubs now rule the Premiership).
But, more interesting is the response by atheist academic philosopher Daniel Came to the refusal by New Atheist academic biologist Richard Dawkins to debate with William Lane Craig. Dawkins gave his reasons in the Guardian here – and then got a response from Came. (Paul Vallely has also contributed in yesterday’s Independent.)
Not surprisingly, I am with Came on this. The New Atheists give atheism a bad name by substituting assertion for argument. Watch this space – the debate between Dawkins and Came might be even more interesting than debates between the theists and the New Atheists.

Syd Bill commented on John Woodhouse's blog post Cardinal Tauran"Just popped back to say that last night I read the Episode in Karen Armstrong's "The Case for God" where she
has written one of the best pieces I have read to date on the meaning of dialogue. It certainly is not a case of point scoring"
