I went to see Dawkins and Julia Sweeney last night... [View all]

Delightful sit-down type talk. Over 1,000 people in attendance.
They took questions from the audience for over an hour.

One person asked if there were stealth atheists in congress.
Sweeney said there definitely were...then practically outed Al Franken.

"I know Al Franken, come on Al!"

They were pushing November 15 as Openly Secular Day

By the way, Dr. Dawkins looked marvelous, no signs of disability from his stroke.
He looks to have mended completely. And Julia was so genuine and open.

Nice night!
