    We just enjoyed a wonderful evening seeing Richard Dawkins live in Sydney. It was an event to promote his latest book, and was another opportunity to expand our "God given" brains!😜

    The book contains a great section giving credit to Christopher Hitchens too!

    Well worth reading.

    I would love to post some pics; but I'm too silly to work out how to do so!

    Now go compare Science in the Soul by Dawkins w/ credit to Hitchens to Rutherford's The Finished Mystery with Posthumous credit to Russell.

    The event was hosted by John Safran, a legendary Australian media personality who has specialised in exposing religious stupidity over the years. He had a tv show called "John Safran vs God" . Most of it can be found on YouTube.

    I was privileged to meet him and have a great chat! I shared our background as Jws and our journey from high control cult like belief to one of reason and facts. He was lovely to chat to.

    This clip of his from a few years back was a great one! It exposes the irony of Door to Door preaching: (aimed at Mormons, but can be applied to us!)

    Two things most people know about Mormons: they’re always knocking on your door on Saturday morning, and they wear funny underwear.

    Two things most people know about Jehovah’s Witnesses: they’re always knocking on your door on Saturday morning, and they don’t believe in Jesus.

    It does seem like that door to door evangelizing method of getting your message out is a gross failure.

    Very interesting thoughts and video. Personally I don't need to follow people who think like me, as I have a mind of my own, and I'm confident of what I believe, but this can speak to people who need some kind of figure to follow.

    Thanks for sharing.
