Thankyou RRS!

If I haven't mentioned it before I guess I'll do so here.

I was proud that both Brian and Kelly not only handled themselves with honesty and integrity, but that they actually agreed to take on Ray and Kirk in the first place.

As Jake mentioned in the video; it's no mean feat agreeing to be put in the firing line on national TV in front of a largely Christian crowd, (the USA) and what was bound to be a somewhat biased representation of the debate by the media. This takes courage, maturity and dedication on the part of RRS and I applaud you both for it. If you care about these issues, then you should also take time to thank them too.

As the saying goes; "there's more than one way to skin a cat" Something that Harris, Dawkins, Dennett and even Neil Tyson agrees with. So if these giants of rational thought accept that there isn't an exclusive method of polemicising religion, why do the haters believe that there is?

There seems to be 2 sides to the atheist position; an intellectual one and a political one. The former lends power to the latter. For some it may just be an interesting intellectual pursuit, for many of you folks in the USA it is most definitely a political one that impacts the lives of everyone.

I guess people assume representation and as Kelly said; "get off your ass and go do something yourself in your own way"

In other words the best way to represent yourself is to go represent yourself!
