Civil conversation between Rabi Lord Jonathan Sachs and Richard Dawkins

[6EQUJ5]

This is a discussion in which there is mutual respect. The Rabi does make one mistake. In quoting one of the most famous parts of the Dawkins book 'The God Delusion' he deems this quote to be specifically anti semitic. Dawkins is aghast at the accusation.

Dawkins is against all religions and the quote in question was against the God of the Bible's Old Testament, upon which quite a few religions are based, such as Catholicism, Anglicanism and the Jewish religion. However, with this one exception the conversation is quite civil, considering that these two folk are poles apart in their beliefs.

For some unknown reason it starts playing at 47 minutes but you can set it back to the start.

I didn't realise that Dawkins was such a big name in atheism until Stefan mentioned him to me but I've heard his name mentioned twice since he was brought to my attention,Frank Skinner brought him up on Room 101 alongside Stephen Fry taking about famous atheists and his name popped up out of the blue in conversation just outside of church yesterday,is he a God to atheists?

Its all a play on words, believe or not, simple as that.
