Atheist vs. Atheist – Richard Dawkins sues Josh Timonen
Examiner.com ^ | Oct 25, 2010 AD | Mariano

Josh Timonen was one of a small coterie of young proteges around Richard Dawkins, sharing his boss's zealous atheism. But now he and the evolutionary theorist have fallen out spectacularly…
Dawkins…had a lot of respect and affection for Josh Timonen in the past and is very disappointed that it has come to a point where their relationship has severed on this basis….the foundation was "heartbroken"…
But why the heartbreak?
Richard Dawkins claims an employee of his Foundation for Reason and Science embezzled $375,000 from the online store he ran for Dawkins' charity, by claiming it made only $30,000 in 3 years.
Timonen has hit back, calling the action "the ultimate betrayal," adding: "This lawsuit is a joke, and completely ridiculous. The accusations are baseless and unfounded."… "I know Richard very well, and it's hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that he could have signed off on this bizarre lawsuit filled with fabrications and lies."

Imagine that. Amorality among atheists. Who’d have thunk it?

It’s very hard to know with whom to side here.

Atheist Josh Timonen just out Darwin’d the old fogy Dawkins.
They aught to take the old man out and abandon him in the wild, let him contribute some fertilizer to the earth.

Why choose sides? Just pop some corn, pour your favorite beverage and enjoy.
