i've been watching a debate showcasing "science" vs. "god". my reason for watching is that the person chosen to "defend" the "god" position is really more 'new age' than god-oriented. kind of a strange choice for the pro-god side...just not the typical representation that i'm used to. in the past i've seen a jewish or christian individual in the hot seat, but maybe this choice was more for that purpose of arguing "spirituality" as opposed to a specific divine being.
the thing that stands out to me though...why is it that when atheists discuss the existence of god they go after christianity specifically? isn't that a little weird? are there actually debates between atheists and muslims? atheists vs. hindus? atheists vs. buddhists? atheists vs. jews? maybe there are and i just haven't heard of them, but it's been my experience that the religion of choice is christianity. at minimum, that's what's publicized, and i guess it just seems odd.
anyway...just my brain prattling around. :)
