A reply on Talk: Dan Dennett: Responding to Pastor Rick Warren

Dec 5 2012: Views do not constitute consent. I am guessing you are new to the internet.
Consider that Julia Sweeney got just as many views for her talk: Letting go of God. What does that mean?
Or, better yet try this one that got slightly more views than those two, Michael Shermer: Why people believe weird things, He is a skeptic, and explains why people conclude improbable things based on incomplete data. I'm sure, at this point, you can relate well to that point.
Oh, also we have Richard Dawkins: Militant Atheism that got even more views.
Finally there is one that got aprox 3 times as many views as Warren: Keith Barry: Brain magic. Would you conclude that people are much more concerned with "magic" than "the spirit"?
A comment on Talk: Alain de Botton: Atheism 2.0

Dec 5 2012: I like this talk. However, my experience, as an artist, is that artists very much want to share what their art is about or at least their process. perhaps we are not attempting to make statements about art itself with our art. but, the process, what the art means to us, what it represents to us as individual artists is of crucial importance, both to us and to those who are relating to our art.
