And here's the link to info about the movie: <A href="http://www.collisionmovie.com/">http://www.collisionmovie.com/</A> 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): <A href="http://right-mind.us/blogs/blog_0/archive/2009/10/23/70483.aspx">http://right-mind.us/blogs/blog_0/archive/2009/10/23/70483.aspx</A> <BR>

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? <BR>

(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?)<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>Continues at: <SPAN><A href="http://www.slate.com/id/2233586/">http://www.slate.com/id/2233586/</A></SPAN><BR></DIV><BR> <br /><hr />Windows 7: Simplify your PC. <a href='http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/windows-7/default.aspx?ocid=PID24727::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-US:WWL_WIN_evergreen1:102009' target='_new'>Learn more.</a></body>
