Dear Tom,
You often speak of conventional Christianity in negative or whimsical terms. Yet if it is wrong, why does it persist?
You might easily brush this query off with a long catalog of wrongheaded notions that stubbornly persist, but I would dearly welcome your heartfelt thoughts on the matter.
With all best wishes,
The Weary Professor

Forum rules
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Start new topic to post your question. One question allowed per member per month. Ask one concise question per post, and please refrain from including information and comments irrelevant to your question.
These questions are for Tom to answer, so please do not be tempted to post a reply to someone else’s question. If you have a comment, post it in the Fan Community → About Tom’s Newsletters and Answers to Questions subforum.
Please do your research before asking a question and try not to ask questions which Tom has answered before – either here or in interviews such as the Doctor Who Magazine articles available on this website in the Doctor Who section. If your question is factual, please try googling it first to see if you can find the answer.
Questions about whether Tom will appear at a convention or in a particular programme or film are wasted questions as he cannot talk about any offers in advance, and the moment agreement is reached, he will announce the news on his website.
From May 2011, Tom will answer a maximum of 15 questions per month. Questions which do not meet the above criteria will be rejected.

Dear Prof,
Read The End of Faith by Sam Harris and then relax. So you are going to lose everything you love, family, friends and all possessions. And so am I, and so is everyone. This is a scary thought, so scary that most faith people can't bear it. I personally embrace it and meantime try to be cheerful and offer to carry old ladies' bags. I also laugh a lot though that may be nerves. Who knows?
Happiness isn't everything, Professor.
