In all respect and good humour, Cameron, it's easy to create a 'straw man' of belief or religion that is a throwback to primitive times, and then destroy it with some well-placed arguments. But I don't think you've actually said much about Bob's definition of religion. Having said that - love the robust discussion, guys.

Cheers, Michaela. Hi Tom,

It seems to me that this argument is about the difference between religion and spirituality. I would be interested to hear Bob and Cameron's definition on the two terms.

However, we are not dealing with any old garden variety priest here. Also, we all know that it wasn't just a simple question, but also a provocation. We also all know that Bob has gotten used to little old softie me, who introduces her questions about god very gently. Me thinks you catch more flies with honey...

Oh come on. I just asked a simple question! I'm re-listening to the show now. Me: "Father Bob, what is the justification for the 32.9 million people Yahweh killed in the Bible?" Bob: "None because it's not a scientific and reasonable thing." Me: "The numbers come out of the bible." Bob: "The numbers in the bible are not mathematical numbers. They are legendary numbers, mythological numbers. You can't read books, you can only read numbers." And so on. If I can't ask a Catholic priest a simple question about God, what is the world coming to??? “Ambushed”??? Oh come on. I just asked a simple question! I’m re-listening to the show now.

Me: “Father Bob, what is the justification for the 32.9 million people Yahweh killed in the Bible?”

And so on. If I can’t ask a Catholic priest a simple question about God, what is the world coming to???

They'll get special attention. Have pity for the Kangaroos who will only see 9 of their games televised on free to air TV The AFL has screwed over their less commercially successful clubs. ps: I'm a west coast supporter... its a good time to be a chardonnay sipper =) I hope you win lots of money for the poor Father Bob.
