RE: Dawkins
Pippy, the fallacies and flaws are valid. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many literary responses to his books, one of which you mentioned. And might I just add that your appreciation is much appreciated, and very admirable. I second fr0d0. xD
I think Dawkins is trying to usher in an activist age of atheism, and who knows where that will lead to. Hopefully people read Dawkins with an open-mind, and close his books with an open-heart. No rest for the wicked, no meat for the pure.

RE: Dawkins
Where did you two have the said disagreement?
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense

RE: Dawkins
Little battles in many threads. They should have a debate about the terms evidence vs. faith in my opinion. I side with Evie on this one so far but would like to see them defend their ideas.

What is the semiotic iconography of cheese?" -- Richard Dawkins on hate mail I honestly didn't know whether to laugh or not when I read that quote yesterday (almost done with The God Delusion, by the way). I forgot the actual hate-mail that came in, but I believe it had something to do along the lines of generalizing all atheists to being the stereotypical "fat, hamburger eating" type of people. ...and to be honest, I love me a good hamburger; as well as cheese.
