My post does not mean I endorse everything Dawkins says. I just posted it for information. It is good that he took on Islam because it has liberals in a bind when that happens. You can throw this at liberals who defend Islam and watch the fun as they get confused because one of their idols has bashed Islam.

I don’t think that Islamofascists deserve politeness and that the demand to explain the punishment for apostasy in Islam was a good one. Also, I wouldn’t put Michael Moore in the same league as Dawkins. Dawkins has at least criticized Islam, I doubt if Moore would do that.

Dawkins is such a moron. Whatever the shortcomings of the Catholic Church, Officially Atheist regimes have murdered more people (in less than 100 years) than all the religions of history.

(Please don’t anybody say they weren’t “real” atheists).

"This is why I am no longer a science major, only two years in and I cannot deal with the arrogance, snobbery, and disdain for anything “anti-science”

There are a lot of young students that have turned away from "science" because of all the PC crap. It used to be that PC closedmindedness was limited to the humanities.

But not anymore.

I understand what you are saying now. Yep, Moore would pee his xxxxl pants if faced with an Islamist. However, an Islamist may see Moore as a useful tool so he may be safe until some of their other enemies are dealt with. I don’t, however, change my opinion that Dawkins is an idiot who resorts to very vague, ad-hominem attacks that use circular reasoning or a lack of rational logic, to attack those of faith simply for their faith. He has even gone so far as to attack Stephen Hawking for his very obscure references to God in his books. If that isn’t the height of arrogance, I don’t know what is.

You cannot expect his fellow Darwinists to repudiate Dawkins

Back in the day, before the big fight, Patrick Henry and Vade Retro, two of the most vocal evo combatants in the evo/crevo wars, did repudiate him when it came to the crunch. They didn't want to talk about religion, cosmology, etc. - just "science" and common descent - IIRC.

wore this "God helmet" in some experiments in "neurotheology." Ha ha ha

Rome is possibly "the greatest force for evil in the world," Dawkins announces, "a disgusting institution" that is "dragging its flowing skirts in the dirt and touting for business like a common pimp."

Funny, considering the Catholic Church's position on evolution...

I guess his hatred of God overrides his support of evolution, and any semblance of reasonable thought processes he may have possessed at one time.

And the fact that you would go so far out on a limb to deliberately misrepresent my position speaks volumes about your evo-atheist motivations.

Can an evo ever respond to a creationist comment without misrepresenting him?

I don't think so, as witnessed here in another of a long line of examples.

Thanks Metmom. I never cease to be amazed on how these guys just invent lies out of thin air to throw at us, and then turn around and act all shocked and hurt when we call them on it.

I had never heard that phrase before...but boy does it conjure up one heck of a comical image! To say that you gave me a good chuckle would be a gross understatement :o)
