That the Skeptics Should Not Tackle Religion

That the Skeptics Should Not Tackle Religion

This is the first of five items from the Australian Skeptics. It originally appeared in the Spring 1990 issue of their newsletter and is being posted now in response to a series of e-mail questions relating to religion and scepticism. "At the Australian Skeptics National Convention in June 1990, a debate was conducted on the proposition 'That Australian Skeptics Should Tackle Religion'. The proposition was put by Robert Macklin, and this is the text of Barry Williams' reply."
