Axis Of Unbelieval

|
Been reading Novak's No One Sees God, the only one of the crop of Defending God books I can bear to look at for the present. Not that they aren't valuable, it's just that the "hot" atheist books of the Hitchens-Dawkins -Harris axis of unbelieval are so uncompelling intellectually I feel no need to refute them.

At bottom the atheist books amount to lonely people crying out for company, and Novak's book is the only one (at least by title) that responds to that actual cry rather than hitting people upside the head with apologetics. (This is just a mood I'm in. Don't leave me any hectoring notes in comments defending the need for apologetics. I'm all for apologetics; but they are for honest inquirers. The sort of folk who could be "persuaded" by the atheist books are not that audience.)

All of which is just an excuse for a trinity of amusing atheist-related items.
