both are worth a read, as they are debating one of the major issues of contemporary times from quite different angles.


some other spots on that board are of interest too;

richard dawkins - discussion on richard dawkins new foundation for reason and science.
where do we get our values from now? - If one does not believe in 1 or more transcendental god/dess((e)s), is a materialist, and a post-modernist (as in "there are no privileged narratives that substantiate universal moral or epistemic claims), how do we justify our moral values?
an atheist manifesto - on the text of a manifesto by sam harris, a stanford philosophy graduate and writer who published 'end of faith'
'fictional' vs. 'real' magic - can gandalf teach us anything? is the corpus hermeticum a work of fiction? is it valuable to distinguish fiction and fact?
richard dawkins is a fox - a lighter take on everyone's favourite vitriolic atheist.
raising children as atheists - an older discussion on the ethics of passing on your world view

and finally;

god is imaginary - an atheist aggresively attacks the faith of some very intelligent people, and a discussion arises despite the inauspicious start..
