Cool Debate Between A Rabbi And An Atheist

I'd like to read the Talmud at some point.

Not going to happen, but it'd be cool

I just tried to read his "god is not Great" book today. I got through about 20 pages and couldn't go on (This was my third attempt to get through it, twice in High School and now). I made a note of my thoughts on it, "Like so much of modern atheism it could only be described as an angry, quasi incoherent, intellectually hypocritical ranting"
Shabbir Akhtar, and to a slightly less extent Joseph Ratzinger, are two of the only really honest authors I have ever read with regards to religion. Most of the rest seems to be either shallow apologetics, writing for the religious on religious matters, or just angry attacks.[/quote]

I actually agree with you, Hassan. A lot of religious writers can be rather superficial.
