Interesting transcript of a lecture by Kenan Malik. It's a good read - enjoy.

That's a really interesting piece cantleave.. thanks for sharing. :) I found the bit about human morality particulary intriguing. I think the worst thing about religion is that it's adherents in their belief of a God feel they are superior to others and impose their own morality on to them. This creates that suffocating feeling of being chained and imprisoned. (Although I still believe in God I think religion is very damaging). For an atheist I would imagine there is a feeling of freedom from this bondage.

Thanks Cantleave, yet another writer I must read more of !
It is well written and presented, I wonder if he helped the Theology students to expand their point of view? I am sure he did, although many of them may have agreed already with much of what he said.

I heard Sir David Attenborough say that when it was originally broadcast. I was still a believing dub. How things change!!!
