Do you really need an introduction in religious anthropology? orr just a literary hyperbolic sentence? :)

If you are for real..we have one of the best experts in the world here in the UB. Manuel Delgado.. if you want to come..you may attend his classes. Believe me, they are absolutely great :)

A pleasure

Saying you have a bigger guy on your side is playground "argument" - deal with the arguments. Actually quote Dawkins and then offer a reasoned critique - you're in science ? !  wow.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

what?

Ted.. I am sorry i do not get it. Why do you attack me.? i ahve never attacked you. I do not have but respect about your position about religiona nd science (though I obviously disagree).

yes I happen to think Dawkins is a very bad scientists, but I think we can happily have a coffeee and discuss it.

Frankly I guess you tried to mock at me.. i am sorry.. it was not my intention to hurt you so that you will be back at me.

Actually I really feel very bad when this happens.

But jsut to claify to Colman.. in case he might have interpreted in other ways.

I was saying that Colman is completely right actually.  Understanding why people pray is something tough. At first sight it makes absolutely no sense whassoever why people pray.. and preciesely I was saying that trying to udnerstand why this happens using scientific means has been the job of religious antrhopologists in the last centrureis. During these years they have gaines some insights that can be very useful... adn knowing COlman I was sure he would love to come here and attend those classes becaue they are really great and funny.

Colman, I do nto know if  you take it like I am saying here, but after Ted comment , i do nto know, maybe it could have been interpreted as something similar to an attack.. I really have no idea how it could be.. really, you know I am for real.. and i would never attack anyone personal in ET. So, let me insist.. I was absolutely with you.
