In the news

The Dublin conference, with quotes from yours truly, appears in the Christian Science Monitor. I might appear on BBC1 tomorrow morning. I was interviewed, but I was introduced to the interviewer by Rebecca Watson as the truly most ferocious atheist around, and while I tried to sound terrifying and cruel, she kept on cracking up during the interview. So it may get cut.

The cracker does rear it's terrifying head again in a wingnut Catholic complaint. That thing will haunt me to the grave.

I got sent this picture. It's perfect for my Thursday conversation with Richard Dawkins.
