  Let's hope viewers identify Crackpotland with Christ Church Cult, NSA (No Science Allowed), Logos, Canon Press, etc and not with Moscow, Idaho, although this might be too much to hope for.

    And here's the link to info about the movie: http://www.collisionmovie.com/ and a link to Pastor Wilson with Chris Hitchens for an hour on the nationally-syndicated Laura Ingraham Show today (haven't listened to it yet): http://right-mind.us/blogs/blog_0/archive/2009/10/23/70483.aspx  
     
    It's always intriguing when someone around here gains a degree of notoriety beyond our region.  Can we anticipate a showing and spirited (yet hopefully mutually respectful) discussion at the Nuart and/or Kenworthy sometime soon?

    Faith No More
    What I've learned from debating religious people around the world.
    By Christopher Hitchens
    Posted Monday, Oct. 26, 2009, at 11:21 AM ET

    This week sees the opening on various cinema marquees of the film Collision: a buddy-and-road movie featuring last year's debates between Pastor Douglas Wilson, who is a senior fellow at New St. Andrew's College, and your humble servant. (If I may be forgiven, it's also available on DVD, and you can buy our little book of exchanges, Is Christianity Good for the World?)

    Newsweek's reviewer beseeches you not to go and see the film, largely on the grounds that it features two middle-aged white men trying to establish which one is the dominant male. I would have thought that this would be reason enough to buy a ticket, but perhaps she would have preferred the debate held in London last week featuring me and Stephen Fry (two magnificent specimens of white mammalhood) versus a female member of Parliament who is a Tory Catholic convert and the Roman Catholic archbishop of Abuja, Nigeria. It filled one of the largest halls in the city, and many people had to be turned away. For a combination of reasons, the subject of religion is back where it always ought to be—at the very center of any argument about the clash of world views.
