Richard Dawkins

[jollygreen]

Saint or sinner?!

[WaldoMcFroog]

He would reject both your labels, since they are religious terms. ;-)

[jollygreen]

:-)

Yep I think you're right. He's certainly a controversial figure. has anyone here read The God Delusion?

[WaldoMcFroog]

Yep. Good read and extremely funny at time. I can totally see why it insenses the God Squad so much.

[jollygreen]

I bought a book called "Letter to a Christian Nation" by Sam Harris last week and it's got a foreword by Richard Dawkins. Certainly worth a read if you are capable of thinking for yourself... :-)

[Theland]

I think he's a man on a mission.
Read one or two of his book s yonks ago - can't remember the titles (? help) but he's an obsessed ASH ...... in my opinion.

Also, he is on record as having trouble believing in a self replicating molecule, the basis of evolution. His explanation was that it must have happened, because ..... we are here to talk about it.

[Llamatron]

What's an ASH?

[wizard69]

Its Theland's acronym for Atheistic Secular Humanist.
Its shorter than spelling "demon, inspired, God hating, worldly loving, sinful, infedel" which, of course, is what he means

[Llamatron]

Oh righty.

I think I feel vaguely insulted.

[Theland]

Lamatron - Not insult meant. It's just an all embracing term, but if it's not accurate, I shall not use it again. Should I use it again?

[Llamatron]

Sure, but only if I can call you an ARSE.

[Theland]

As in, "Articulate Religious Scholarly Eccentric?"

Why sure.

[wizard69]

No.
As in - Answerbank's Recognised Stupid Evangelical

[Llamatron]

Both work for me.

[Theland]

"Touchez!" (.... goes away to look for book of clever witty responses, muttering dark threats of revenge ...)

[lugus]

God.

[naomi24]

What?
