I have no idea why anyone would find him entertaining. Last night, I thought he was deliberately provocative and that the frequent reference to him for him to respond was disproportionate. Personally,I would have much preferred to hear far more from the other members of the panel so the discussion was more balanced. That people who profess a faith which cannot be supported by 'science' should be subjected to his ridicule, in a public forum, was simply tasteless. His targeting of the politicians, even more so. I did not find him in the least bit entertaining. But, I suppose, Duicorp, some may, judging by the hysterical giggling by some of the audience, almost on queue. Julie Bishop was scarcely able to open her mouth before the inane giggling began. Made me wonder whether RD had bought along lots of members of the Atheist Society and arranged for them to sit in the front row! Interestingly, the rabbi did not feel the same obligation to ridicule those of Christian persuasion, nor vice versa.
