Could the interviewer been any more biased?"This greatest nation on God's green earth"?PLEASEEE!If there is anything more disgusting than religious fundamentalism it's nationalism.Get over yourself.Every nation has its good points and bad,and no people,no race,no nation is appointed by God.That kind of thinking,not atheism,is what led to monsters like Hitler,Pol Pot,and Stalin.

Dinesh speaking is like the noise I hear when I chew cereal, only 10x more annoying.

Dinesh is just making shit up when he starts talking about science. What does relativity have to do with "intelligent design"? Nothing. He's ignorant of science and he's only read about certain scientists so he can argue against atheists.

Dinesh D'Sousa is not in the same league as Hitchens. Hitchens is a pro when D'Sousa is second division bush league.

@bkelsey4

I disagree with Medved here but you really need to give this guy a chance before bashing him. First off he closes EVERY hour with that statement, its a part of his show and not directed at this in particular. 2nd its by FAR the best talk radio show out there. He does an amazing job allowing all points of views, has fun programs as well(disagreement day, conspiracy day, ect). For a conservative talk show host, there is non that can even compare to this guy, give it a chance an you see.

excuse me? information yes intelligence NO. They are NOT the same thing, Dinesh.

You slimy slimeball.

Deutsch ist Spass, Nihongo ist sugoi. (Not your point I know, but still.)

[MussyPagnet]

There is something inherently fucked with patriotism and nationalism. There is, on the flipside, nothing wrong with constantly ignoring all criticism on the bases of "MY COUNTRY KICKS FUCKIN' ASS HYUCK HYUCK"..

I also cringed!

It is I'd say the last intellectual primitive that remains deep inside humans. Give it time though. Just refering to the word 'faith'- when you have knowldge of a thing, faith diminishes. So the more we know and can explaing the previously inexplicable, like lightning, therefore we can assert that it's energy and electricity, not Zeus chucking bolts at us.

Refuting theism is sooo easy it baffles my mind of how or why educated adults still adhere to this primitive state of mind.
