Atheist Attack

Fascinating and at times blistering attack on Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion by fellow athiest David Sloan Wilson. I love these internecine fights. Intellectual porn at its finest.

Islam. Yawwwwn

Refreshing (and typical) honesty from John Derbyshire as he explains why Islam bores him so. Many of my favourite writers, including Andrew Sullivan, denounce him as a racist crank. Certainly there is a bit of Steptoe in Derbyshire but he is an entertaining, lucid writer unafraid of pissing people off. His refusal to march in lockstep with conservative orthodoxy on Iraq, evolution and teenage breasts is the only reason to visit the Corner. Long live the Derb.
