Disappointing

“I had some pretty high hopes for this guy, but after listening to a couple eps (including the much vaunted C. Hitchens debate) I walk away disappointed.
Bob comes across to me as just one more partisan lefty in media, albeit one who is tripping over himself to show his "nuance."
On religion he's just a mess. Like most on the left who (rightly) reject religion, he can't seem to get over the "something missing" hurdle, like a true brave atheist can. So he fills this religion-sized hole with doubt, nuance, and Buddhism.
And with pointless debate. It's hard to believe this guy held up his debate with Hitchens as a clear victory. It just shows the deep bias we humans have for... ourselves!
He came across as this strident sniper, trying to bring down the great man by any means necessary. We get it Bob, Hitch was wrong on Iraq. A lot of people were. (But even there, it's not like the 2003 Hitch was arguing in bad faith.) And the religion stuff.. my god man, you're a supposed atheist (or "secular humanist," whatever) trying to argue religion of all things with Christopher frigging Hitchens, of all people. Surely there was much more common ground than Bob wanted to let on, for whatever weird reason.”Read full review »

“I heard Andrew Sullivan say that maybe he enjoys this wonderful podcast so much because he knows them both personally.
Unfortunately ranking Robert Wright’s book Why Buddhism Is True as my second favorite book of all time does not mean I know them. But I still love this podcast and look...”Read full review »
