Tara Stiles: Generation X: Praying To No One?

Tara Stiles: Generation X: Praying To No One?

Interesting article, not sure what my thoughts are on it. I wonder if this is shocking to anyone really. Having been decidedly in the "not praying" camp for some time I don't find this shocking and honestly I'm not sure I find it rewarding either. I try not to take relish in another point of view's demise (some of you are laughing at that I'm sure). But either way I just wanted to know if anyone had any thoughts on this. Do you think this matters? Is it really that big of a deal?

Rick Warren vs. Daniel Dennett

I'm a big fan of the TED talks there are some amazing talks on here on a variety of subjects and if you haven't taken the time to view some of them, do yourself a favor and indulge. I found these two videos particularly neat. Rick Warren is of course the evangelist and preacher who wrote the monumentally famous The Purpose Driven Life here's his full bio on TED. He makes some interesting points in the talk and I can see why he's a compelling speaker and an inspiration to many modern Christians.

But Daniel Dennett, an outspoken atheist and humanist, seemed to find fault in what Pastor Warren had to say and challenged him in his response talk. I find it very interesting, and tend to agree with Dennett. I wonder what you think?
