Re: [asa] A graduate student speaks out

I'm sorry but I don't agree. Forgive me for being direct, but it strikes me
as naive to post a link to an atheist apologetics site with the expectation
that all of the material on the site can safely be digested by everyone --
even if *some* of the material is accurate. Look at this guy's blogroll,
for example: under the category "Science and Reason" he includes links
to the Atheist Alliance International, Christopher Hitchens, Richard
Dawkins, and Sam Harris. Is *that* what we think "Science and Reason"
means? Is *that* the kind of stuff we want associated with the ASA through
its email list? Does *that* represent a guy who "has his head on?" It
seems to me that representing AAI, Hitchens, Dawkins and Harris as the best
of "Science and Reason" suggests the guy has his head on backwards.
