So naughty, I'm sorry

I've just been really busy, but I'll quickly type something here.

My one criticism of Richard Dawkins:

I have nothing but respect for the man, but one of his arguments in his book, "The God Delusion" irritated me to no end. While a scientist is held in high regard, where he is able to determine what's true based on evidence and his own judgment, I see no reason why famous name-dropping of intellectual people should be used as an argument to convert into the philosophy of atheism. I find this quite laughable, even though it is but a small segment of his book and by no means overshadows his brilliance.

Should the people who believe in the same things you do, change your own opinion?

Short note, will write more about it later.

It's called appeal to authority, of course.

So very, very glad to see You back!

Nice, so when can we expect some drunken night out where I end up in ur bed and perhaps a touch of vacuming and ironing in the morning?
