Mr Arrogance, sometimes referred to as Professor Richard Dawkins, that well known I-believe-in-scientific-method-but-only-so-long-as-I-do-not-have-to-justify-any-of-my-own-scientific-beliefs atheist, has now launched an attack on the whole of New Age spiritualist claptrap.He is a man I pray for specifically every single day, so I am pleased to see that he has at least got something right.
But as Melanie Phillips - somebody who almost always does get it right - notes, it is the very collapse of belief systems which has led to an angst-led search through all this pseudo spiritual pap for people who have been abandoned in a Godless vacuum.
She quotes Chesterton's "When a man stops believing in God - it is not that he believes in nothing but that he will believe in anything." Oh, so true.
