I will be participating in an online debate about religion, hosted by publisher Alexander Macris and editor Kori Ellis at EveryJoe.com.
My civil and friendly debate partner will be John C. Wright, who has written widely on religion and related matters.
A series of back-and-forth articles on key issues to begin on Friday, June 5, 2015. [Update: It will likely begin on June 12.] Our first question will be:
* Is Religion Worth Arguing About?
Every two weeks after that, the series will continue with the following questions:
* Are Reason and Faith Compatible?
* Can the Existence of God be Proven or At Least Be Made a Reasonable Hypothesis?
* Is Religion Necessary for Personal Morality?
* Does the Meaning of Life Depend on There Being an Afterlife?
* Is Religion Good or Bad for Politics?
* On Balance, Has Religion Been Good or Bad for Humanity?
So please tune in for what I hope will be an informative and productive discussion of a vital set of issues.
