Ah yes, the EVIL Guardian which prints both sides of the story on practically every issue...

Also - Minority Retort? That sounds a lot more entertaining than the Tom Cruise flick...
:-)
I thought the Guardian thing might raise your hackles ;-)
To be honest, I do read articles from it now and then...I just prefer the Telegraph.
I certainly wouldn't say its evil.

Philip Pullman is a wonderful storyteller and has a lot of very good insights into human nature, and thoughtful criticisms to make of certain types of institutional religion. It's just a pity he confuses them with Christianity.
I've read a bit of stuff by Richard Dawkins - a skilled communicator of scientific ideas, but woefully uninformed when he starts talking about religion.
I enjoy reading The Guardian, largely because it both has articles that I vehemently disagree with and are fun to argue against mentally (great fun!), but also occasionally says some stuff that I quite agree with.

I hate rational argumentation (I guess in this I can appreciate the paedobaptist cause)! All I shall say is that you're a loser! Ha! And you'll never convince me of your hereditary doctrines...
