When Jeremy Bentham Got Upset – UCL’s Wake Up Call

How Dawkins Disappoints

Browsing Facebook for my favorite Atheist places I had the misfortune of stumbling on one of the latest posts in theĀ The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science Facebook page, this is the “official” page for Dawkins, which I admire and greatly respect not only as a leading atheist but also for his fantastic scientificContinue Reading
