Richard Dawkins's interview with Pastor Ted Haggard was something else! Pastor Haggard made multiple contradictions to himself through the interview and he gave off an air of superiority to Dawkins. I'm genuinely astonished that Pastor Haggard cannot see the irony in his statement to Dawkins: "Don't be arrogant." Pastor Haggard spoke about intellectual arrogance, yet spoke down to Dawkins as if he were an idiot, even though Dawkins brought up very valid points during their interview. I completely agree with Tristan in that blind faith is a dangerous thing. This video relates back to the previous blog post about the importance of critical literacy!
I agree that blind faith can lead to so many dangerous things. One must think critically before doing things "in the name of God."
