AC Grayling on Clegg

[cultureofdoubt]

I think hsenag had a good point about Clegg and how he's bringing up his children - it does seem more than a touch inconsistent.

The ever excellent AC Grayling has more to say. Marvellously acerbic.

Oh and I did like this bit:Agnosticism is a rubbish position: the prior probability that there are fairies at the bottom of the garden is not 50%; it is 0

Which bit out of interest? His wife's a catholic and he's an atheist. You can't really bring the kids up both so what is wrong with his choice? Some guy who was famous with philosophy stuff said something along the lines of "If god exists and we worship him we win, if he doesn't exist and we worship him then we lose nothing". So what's wrong with his kids being bought up catholic and then making up their own mind when they are older? Personally I don't try to enforce my (lack of) religious belief on others and I don't see what's wrong with him not doign so either.

Ah yes, I thought he was french. I still think my point that I was making badly is that they are still allowed to make a choice when they are grown up.
