It's quite good.

A whole hour of The Dawk! :drool:

I will make the effort over the next day or so. Thanks.

Just finished. Some good stuff. Good to see him kick Blair's "Faith Foundation" in the balls. I liked the quote-mining section too - and his final answer.

I love Dicky D's final answer in the video. :clap:

As usually, I love hearing Mr. Dawkins speak. However, I think this particular talk starts to lag around the middle. Of course, a lot of us have heard all this before; I as well; so it got a bit tedious. About 2 years ago I went through a bought of "devout" Atheism where I watched Atheist YouTube clips like 4 hours a day, no joke. I watched every single YouTube clip with Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, or Dennett I could find. I think most of us go through a stage like that. At any rate, I had to quit cold turkey on any further atheist literature or videos for a good while there because I burned myself out. lol. I kinda felt that way halfway through this talk... almost a fatigue with the material. :yawn: But like I said, it's always great to hear the good man speak. We'll prolly only have him for another 10 years or so.
