i don't like the man.
but i have chosen to review the first chapter of his book.. chapter 1... only a theory?.
Dawkins looks down on people who disagree with him in the same way I used to look down on people who disagreed with me as a JW.
I take this back, even in my most convinced JW days I never would have advocated bullying and shaming people with different religious beliefs to myself:

Can we all stop pretending Richard is just a misunderstood chap with a passion for science now please?
i live in a rural area; in field service we had to drive from house to house.. i have not had any desire to visit any church for several years now.
saturday i was doing chores in my yard - washing the car, etc.
- and 2 ladies drove in, dressed like witnesses would be dressed.
Glad you enjoyed it. :) Even if you're not a believer and you never intend to join I think it's a worthwhile experience for finding out that it's nothing like the Society told us it was.

I'm already aware of the context of Dawkins Holocaust remarks, given the kind of people who deny the Holocaust generally are it's needlessly incendiary and I think he knows what he's doing.

I think fundamentalist is an apt description of Dawkins. He is disparaging of those with religious beliefs and has the same kind of vehemence for the groups he dislikes as do fundamentalists of different persuasions.

Agreed that Dawkins is a good science teacher, shame he's an embarrassment on nearly any other subject.
Viviane, what term would you use to describe someone who's atheistic/anti religious views you believed were extreme?
it will give you an understanding of the watchtower you did not have.. .

Given that the vast majority of members on this board once rejected evolution I find it odd how people now embrace someone who claimed that said rejection was akin to Holocaust denial and even support this comparison.
Also see people who raised their children in religious homes agreeing with Dawkins when he says that this is child abuse, apparently oblivious (?) to what they are saying about themselves there.
Quelly, if you're going to start a new thread everytime you find a verse the witnesses ignore it might take a lot of work.
i am seeing a lot of young mormon men out lately, in their ties and nametags.
is it a certain time of year that they go out?
just curious if anyone knows..
The one time a Mormon ever preached to me he sat down next to me at a park bench whilst I was reading a book, then tapped me on the shoulder and said 'I really like your coat' followed by a painful silence before he offered me a Mormon pamphlet. I accepted because I was genuinely interested in what it had to say and then he asked if he could have my number. Hell no.
Ministerial training school graduate it was not.
