You cannot surely argue against, as he once again demonstrated so effectively at the end, the old jesuit mantra of "give me the child and i will show you the man". And as christians have exploited young peoples natural curiosity with simple, tidy answers, so are muslim faith schools exploiting their charges, again brilliantly demonstrated by his silence when one of the young women acknowledged her desire to become a doctor whilst denying scientific fact. Very revealing, and rather scary exposition of our divided society.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723714247945634278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4227944112880631342.post-2067515568242418482010-08-20T19:35:05.692+01:002010-08-20T19:35:05.692+01:00Richard Dawkins - roughly as good at theology as t...Richard Dawkins - roughly as good at theology as the pictured nun is likely to be at footballKentish Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056164344490006196noreply@blogger.com
