As you have surely noticed, the new incarnation of ‘militant atheism’ is stirring continuous debate both online and on TV. Just to site posts that have just appeared since last weekend in my rss reader: http://thisquantumworld.com/wordpress/2007/08/19/an-open-letter-to-messrs-dawkins-dennett-harris-and-hitchens/, http://amnap.blogspot.com/2007/08/materialism-as-reaction-to-religion.html, http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/08/16/sunday/main3174781.shtml, and http://richarddawkins.net/article,1540,n,n.

Important RSS feed update

Yet another update of my blogging software (RapidWeaver) has allowed me to implement the cool features provided by FeedBurner. This will lift some of the blind spots that prevent me from knowing what my readership actually reads, and this will eventually help me decide what topics and what kind of posts (series or stand-allone articles) are generally preferred.
Please use this url for your news readers, from now on:

The previous url will reach its end-of-life very soon...
