To be fair I would probably accuse a very large proportion of the country of having a distinct lack of logic and critical thinking, though I would not relate it to religious views in the slightest.

Just watched the program after reading this thread.....very very hard hitting, i did watch all of it and it makes you think.
They were two very brave men to do that.

I thought the programme was excellent.
However, I did find it slightly creepy that the nurse was the one to hold him as he slipped into unconsciousness. Fair enough he was in distress for a few seconds, but surely the wife should've held him.
It was very touching overall though, and I found Peter and Andrew (the other chap you didn't see after the night before) to be very brave people.
With an elderly gran (95) whose memory and quality of life is rapidly deteriorating, I can see the positives to assisted death all too clearly.

Having watched my father die of lymphoma over the course of 9 months, through the radio and chemotherapy and the pain of the disease itself, I can say with certainty that I will not let myself go through the same.

Giving up. Quitting. Packing it in. Stopping bothering. The new 'bravery'.
Yawn.

You be sure to come back when you've dealt with a terminal illness.
I don't know enough about you or your family to make that claim. If you think bizarre things like the earth is less than 10'000 years old or donate money to an organisation that actively protects paedophiles for hundreds of years then employs someone to handle the PR backlash who turns out to be a paedophile himself, then yea, I would say that you have a lack of logic and critical thinking to say the least.
Ironically, your "religious people suck at logic" post employs logical fallacies.
Great success.
Explain?

You all make me
Spotlight fallacy, and arguably a non-sequitur.
I think you could be making some sweeping statements here.
Nope.
My statement was concerning Religious people, not all theists, I am sorry if this has confused you.
