What would you reckon the probability of Richard Dawkins becoming the next pope? I'm guessing about 10,000,000:1.
Worth a flutter then....

Haven't read Dawkins but this site/movie will be of interest to the atheists (& maybe some open minded christians) amongst us, part one in particular. I've looked into some of the facts presented and it seems plausible enough. http://zeitgeistmovie.com/ |

Excellent! Loved the dowsers. The guy who gets told by god where the water is said that when he got it wrong during a proper double blind trial it was 'god was having a joke'.  ...what chance does anyone have against that lol |

I loved the look on Dawkins face when he was sitting watching the medium . I personally don't believe in any form of belief system or religion almost as much as the belivers believe ( if that makes any sense  ). If you really want to read something and have a laugh, read the book 'The Secret' . Check out Wikipedia for the Secret. I am still amazed that in the year 2007 we still believe in anything we can't actually see. Obviously each Country have their individual beliefs and many developing nations are ruled by these beliefs ( or religions ), but it is hard for a non believer to understand the thought processes of someone who has 100% faith. If science ever develops a technique to read a person mind, I would love to step inside a persons mind who has complete faith and see their thoughts. |
