A.C. Grayling on Colbert

Posted on 14:34 by Unknown
Philosopher A.C. Grayling (whom you've seen debate along with Richard Dawkins against the notion that atheism is the new fundamentalism), has just come out with a secular bible.

His book tour just had him land for a visit with Stephen Colbert, who claims that you can't have a Bible unless it's endorsed by God... or unless you're willing to kill someone else in its name :)

The Colbert ReportMon - Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c

And for an entirely different take, listen to Grayling and philosopher Patricia Churchland discuss The Machinery of Mind.
