Your logic is either nonexistent or it confounds all that try to decipher it. When you can come up with some sort of argument that doesn't claim that because of someone's disbelief in a god they must be a Marxist, you have contributed no more than I have. All I see in your argument is a non-sequitur.

The logic is impeccable so the confounding must be due to something else.

When you can come up with some sort of argument that doesn't claim that because of someone's disbelief in a god they must be a Marxist, you have contributed no more than I have.

You just made an assertion with no basis in fact. None, nada, zip. I mean, you like many others here, just seem to make up assertions as you need them. Not one poster with a different view of Dawkins than I have has commented at all on the substance that I posted including Marx's exhortations to ban religion and Dawkins views that religion is the enemy of rationality. When something is your enemy, it is extremely probable that if you were King you would ban it. It is my opinion, substantiated on this thread by the writings of Marx and Dawkins that both would have banned religion if they could.

In return, I have gotten the usual ad hominems, false assertions, foul language and accusations of bigotry against the Godless. All garbage. Such is life.

All I see in your argument is a non-sequitur.

Then you have willfully misread my posts and the references I provided. There is no other way around it. Your statement above is just another false assertion in a long list of them.

But you're a civil guy, I'll give you that.

I am basically an atheist, and Walsh has never suggested, much less called me, a Marxist, or, for that matter, to be more precise to what I think by you meant to suggest by the charge, that I have a Marxist view of religion, even if not a Marxist per se. In fact we are good friends. Not all atheists are enemies of religion, and want it stamped out. Walsh fully understands that. He is not an idiot poster, incapable of drawing obvious distinctions; far from it. I hope that helps.
