Christopher Hitchens will be in Sydney next weekend for a speaking engagement. His topic is "Religion Poisons Everything". Below is an article from Peter Bowditch of Australian Skeptics:
To regard curiosity as "vanity" goes against the grain of human progress, and more so against nature itself. That is not to say however that progress does not have its drawbacks; the drawbacks instigated mainly by those who allow their self-interest to precede them.
Is it unreasonable to be reasonable in a room full of believers? Why is it that the religious lot has the freedom to express their thoughts but not the non-believers? It's almost impossible to have a discussion without you being dismissed as immoral. How do you get across?
