Faith and Atheism

But­ter­flies and Wheels has an entry on Alistair McGrath, author of Dawkins’ God try­ing to get to grips with his concept of “faith” (see here for my view of his book). A com­ment on the entry made me laugh:

Funny that when people (even reli­gious people) want to insult sci­ent­ists, they com­pare them to a priest­hood, or say that sci­ence is just another reli­gion. How is it no-one who wants to insult priests accuses them of being just another bunch of scientists?

Cruel, but funny.

There’s also the Car­ni­val of the God­less out this week. This time there’s some pos­it­ive stuff up as well as god bash­ing. That’s some­thing that should make it worth brows­ing. Con­stant neg­at­iv­ity can get a little wearing.
