Re: The Trouble With Atheism.
According to Mr Liddle the dangerous vacuum left by the disappearance of Religion would leave us all living in something akin to a Marxist state operating a system of Eugenics. Well to be honest a package tour to the Soviet Union of the mid 1980's left me with the distinct impression they'd just swapped one set of religious icons for another; the same profile of Lenins head everywhere you looked. Can anyone seriously equate so-called Atheist states with a network of Gulags as encouraging the habit of thinking for yourself. As for Hitler, Atheism and whatever, the way I have it, Hitler was latterly off his trolley and a ruthless dictator to boot who used any means possible to achieve some crackpot notion of World domination. Even if Hitler was an Atheist It's tantamount to saying because Hitler was a vegetarian anyone that doesn't eat meat should be watched very carefully indeed.

Not at all related to your post, but I am officially your first visitor from Taiwan.
Further to the "extreme blogging" episode of earlier in the year, I can now sense the onslaught of "extreme blog visiting".
The mind bloggles.
i thought it might be yourself, there for xmas are you? and do they have 2 new years?
Here for Xmas, but back for Hogmany.
They don't celebrate 1st Jan as new year, but the good news is that it's only the year 1995, so their Millenium is still to come.
