Do You Believe?

There’s a bit of shooting fish in a barrel to this, but it’s delicious anyway: Deepak Chopra Gets Owned .

Thanks for the link to Steve Hayward of NoLeftTurns , who refers to Chopra as “one of those self-levitating frauds so common in our age.” In another Youtube offering,  Richard Dawkins takes on Chopra with amusing results (the conversation starts about two minutes, thirty seconds in).

Speaking of Dawkins, Christian apologists love taking on the New Atheists, I assume because they make sense and can be  argued with. But if the apologists’ calling is to expose error and protect people from the seductions of their age, they ought to be addressing pseudo-mystical windbags like Chopra nearly as often.
