Dawkins and A. N. Wilson

By Malgwyn | May 4, 2009

I could identify with Wilson’s remark. “Why did I, along with so many others, become so dismissive of Christianity?”
Said, Wilson, “Like most educated people in Britain and Northern Europe (I was born in 1950), I have grown up in a culture that is overwhelmingly secular and anti-religious. The universities, broadcasters and media generally are not [...]

Dawkins and ‘A Change of Heart’

By Malgwyn | March 2, 2009

A Reply to: Dawkins’ Manx Shearwater
When Richard Dawkins in TGD ridicules Christians who claim to have had an experience with God he doesn’t show that he has grasped the concept or understands what that means in his pub talk illustration of the Manx Shearwater. When Christians refer to having an experience with God they usually [...]

Christianity is Good! Says Matthew Parris

By Malgwyn | February 20, 2009

Thinking about Richard Dawkins being party to The Scandal of The New Atheism reminds me that in less than a couple of weeks we have the Women’s World Day of Prayer, an ecumenical movement. Held annually on the first Friday in March, “The service is written by a different country each year and that country then [...]

The God Delusion And Scandal

By Malgwyn | February 18, 2009

Albert Mohler’s review of The New Atheism is revealing and so is WorldNetDaily’s David Kupelian’s lengthy essay on “How Atheism Is Being Sold To America”. History tells us of terrible things done in the name of Christianity - but anyone who knows anything about the Christian faith will know that is a counterfeit Christianity - [...]

Evolution And The New Atheist’s Campaign of Hate

By Malgwyn | February 15, 2009

Why the New Atheist’s Campaign of Hate towards religion - but specifically Christianity? This essay by Albert Mohler from 2006 appraises the rise of the New Atheism as reported by Gary Wolf in Wired Magazine. Says Mohler, “At the beginning of his article, he gets right to the point: “The New Atheists will not let [...]

Dawkins and Byron Garcia

By Malgwyn | January 9, 2009

A Reply to: Dawkins’ Manx Shearwater
Whenever I come across a story like this my mind immediately reverts to The God Delusion where Richard Dawkins quotes Sam Harris, “While religious people are not generally mad, their core beliefs absolutely are.” And then I think of The Sunday Times Culture Magazine (21 October 07) describing TGD as [...]

Churches Together in Weston-super-Mare  have been running Weston Bible Week since 1980 with two weeks of the year given over for specially chosen national and international Bible teachers or speakers. In March 2008 it invited 3 speakers to address the issues raised by Richard Dawkins in his book, The God Delusion. The week’s lectures, “Scientists Look at [...]

Atheists Going for the Jugular and Religion Fighting Back

By Malgwyn | January 3, 2009

I am reflecting on my last post - Matthew Parris’ article, Africa Needs Christianity. I can’t help thinking of Richard Dawkins - both Parris and Dawkins are atheists but what such contrasting attitudes towards Christianity, as is noted by some of the comments that follow Parris’ article in The Times.  I came across this combined review [...]

Africa Needs Christianity

By Malgwyn | December 31, 2008

What a stunning rebuke is Matthew Parris to the aggressive and unreasoned atheist attacks taking place on Christians and Christianity.  An article worth keeping in mind for what we might expect with Darwin’s bicentenary in 2009. The original article in The Times is followed by 193 mixed comments, mostly it seems to me acknowledging Matthew Parris’ [...]

Dawkins and Charles Colson

By Malgwyn | December 24, 2008

Disgraced and imprisoned by the Watergate affair Wikepedia reports that ‘Colson was known as President Nixon’s hatchet man. Slate magazine writer David Plotz described Colson as “Richard Nixon’s hard man, the ‘evil genius’ of an evil administration.”[4] Colson has written that he was “valuable to the President … because I was willing … to be [...]
