Archbishop takes on atheist Dawkins

[DonCoquixote]

71. Good point

Fact is, neither of these two are likely to change flags. Yes, there have been times when people have changed, but that is not what anyone expects. What will happen is, in spite of themselves, they will likely bring up good points which can be chewed over by people on either side.

It would be good if this was a series, with others thrown into the mix, let's say, with Muslim, Jewish or Buddhist counterparts. I am not sure off the top of my head who would fit, but it is reasonable to think that some counterparts could be found, and by that I mean people who are respected in their fields as Dawkins is to Atheism, or the Archbishop is to Anglican thought. My only real disappointment with this is that, as it stands, it will only contrast a British form of Atheist thought with a British from of Religious thought, and even then, not even one that represents all of England, as it is unlikely that all Britons fall between these poles. On a lighter end, it would be fun if some like Slavoj Zizek were to show up, as he could probably throw these two the equivalent of wicked curve balls.
