it is really great to watch someone like this guys, listen to his ideas and see him wearing ashirt that looks like a pijama ...

Very interesting dialogues between theologians and postmodernists in these strange post-secular times. As an atheist Zizek rejects nearly all popular forms of "vulgar atheism" . Further, Zizek misunderstands the pope in this point. "Intelligent design" is no catholic doctrine at all.
Wait what´s coming !
