Stephen Colbert interviews Richard Dawkins

I blogged here how I think Christians should be open/welcome (to) critique and used the example of Richard Dawkin's new atheism and his critique that religion is evil. It has sparked off some deep insightful comments...

For a critique of Richard Dawkins, please do enjoy the following clip...

Ethically Christian cleansing vs. a life/love down off my soapbox?

Some posts of late have made me just stop and and reflect on the christian response to issues of ethics, HT to John for posting on ethics and  stem cell research; Marc for reflecting on abortion and Alan for making my brain ache raising human 2.0. 

Me on my soap box...

I know what my natural inclination of a response is - an emotive outburst which would label, judge and belittle people for their shallow ethics and questionable morals.  I would I am sure reflect on the arrogant of scientists playing at God and remember that quote from the film Jurassic Park:

"scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

In fact I would be more than happy to stand on the soap box for a long time, I would be a very hard man to shift, but I think in reading all these posts something has been nagging away at me, am I any less ethical than the people I am condemming? So I'd like in the rest of this post to first challenge my own shoddy ethics and then wonder with you if there is not a much more excellent way?
