Dinesh D'Souza Takes on the Atheists

Dinesh D'Souza, author of numerous best-selling books and one of the most prolific and prominent conservative writers and speakers around, has recently taken to debating atheists, the general results of which he talks about in this very interesting Town Hall column.

Of special interest is D'Souza's opinion about why atheists are so angry.

One reason I think is that they are God-haters. Atheists often like to portray themselves as "unbelievers" but this is not strictly accurate. If they were mere unbelievers they would simply live their lives as if God did not exist. I don't believe in unicorns, but then I haven't written any books called The End of Unicorns, Unicorns are Not Great, or The Unicorn Delusion. Clearly the atheists go beyond disbelief; they are on the warpath against God. And you can hear their bitterness not only in their book titles but also in their mean-spirited invective.


But there's more, including a link to a video of his latest debate, one matching him with the evolutionist and philosopher Daniel Dennett. Check it out.
