Richard Dawkins -vs- Billy Graham

Can we compare Richard Dawkins to Neil DeGrasse Tyson?

Both are outspoken atheists. Both are well accomplished in their respective fields: evolutionary biology for Dawkins and astrophysics for Tyson.

I prefer Tyson to Dawkins because his aim is to teach those that don't know, rather than Dawkins' snarky comments when someone disagrees. Dawkins is very entertaining, though. I cannot wait for Tyson's remake of Carl Sagan's Cosmos produced by Seth McFarlane.

Here we go, reason for your statement?

A random thought perhaps?

I have the greatest respect for Billy Graham; however, after 30+ years dealing with so-called "religious publishers", nothing would surprise me.

The religious publishing industry is more corrupt than the secular publishers.

I don't believe the Spirit of truth speaks to anyone today through a voice either. John 16:13 says the Spirit of truth guides believers in all truth. John 17:17 says thy Word is thy truth.

Plenty examples of this. A self proclaimed "christian" who is okay with murdering innocent people for special interest isn't a christian. Make sense?

As long as those same Christians are willing to acknowledge the outrage by the mainstream Muslims against those who call themselves "Muslims" (Al Qaeda) and then proceed to kill countless number of innocent civilians in the name of their religion.

Unfortunately, all too often Christians (mainly in this country) set a double standard.

Based on what?

How are you measuring this?

Christianity was bastardized long before this country.

There are secular publishers like there are religious publishers? News to me... God is Not Great was published by Twelve Publishers. The God Delusion was published by Bantam Books, a subsidiary of Random House. Seems like publishers publish books that will potentially be hits, or be good reads.

Why are there no secular bookstores? Why can I easily find a Christian bookstore?

Blah blah blah... I don't really have a point.

I really like Tyson as well. And the remake should be incredible. I love Sagan and I know Tyson will do his show justice.
