God's Undertaker

John Lennox

One of the things it tackles is arguments by Richard Dawkins. I knew Dawkins regularly engaged in fallacious arguments when talking about religion and faith, but this exposes just how broadly and deeply he does so.

God's Undertaker

John Lennox

HaHaHa, I was never more entertained then in a Lennox-Dawkins debate.

One of the things it tackles is arguments by Richard Dawkins. I knew Dawkins regularly engaged in fallacious arguments when talking about religion and faith, but this exposes just how broadly and deeply he does so.

Name one (or even a few). Just because he doesn't suck religion's dick, doesn't make him fallacious.

Doctors from Hell: The Horrific Account of Nazi Experiments on Humans by Vivien Spitz

 

[JarodA]

Just got done with "Home Stretch" by Graham Norton. It's gay-themed about a young Irishman who has to leave his home for causing a fatal car crash.

4/5 great stuff. Sometimes it's more surprising when people famous for one thing (Graham's a big talkshow host in the UK) are skilled at another thing. But anyone who'd have written this, I'd have liked it.

 

[Harke the Boeotarch]

Even Cowgirls Get the Blues - Tom Robbins.

 

[Araucaria]

I'm reading "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous," by Ocean Vuong. It's a novel about a Vietnamese-American boy growing up in the United States. He writes about his mother and grandmother in Vietnam during the war, growing up with abuse and poverty in the U. S., and a teenage love relationship with a drug-addicted white boy, who lives too intensely. There's a lot that's troubling and harrowing, but there's also a lot of wonderful poetic language.

Doctors from Hell: The Horrific Account of Nazi Experiments on Humans by Vivien Spitz

Their are a lot of things we only know because of all the unethical experiments the Nazis and Japanese (look up Unit 731, it makes the Nazis look ethical) did, that couldn't have been discovered ethically. That is why the U.S. initiated Operation Paperclip at the end of the war, to obtain all of these talented German and Japanese scientists for their own use and to keep them out of the hands of the Soviets. The U.S. wouldn't have reached the moon if not for one of these scientists, namely Wernher von Braun, who was the chief of the German V-1 and V-2 rocket program, that used slave labor.

The U.S. got a huge technological advantage in the 50's and 60's from using these unethical German and Japanese scientists.
