Also, did you memorize the whole bible or do you get those from fortune cookies? -_-

I have something that IS relevant and it actually DID come from a fortune cookie from last nights dinner Tongue

This isn't so much about obligations to listen to anyone but how the social grouping of individuals leads to leaders being appointed and eventually atheists are no exception and they'll find causes to fight for.

Some people can do that, I certainly don't.  Nobody leads me.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.

I want to thank every who gave info. Was interesting I posted the same question on Alt.atheism and all I got was attacked. They are very militant there. I was called a troll and worse for even posting this.

Like this forum much better you don't have hypatiab7 as your ruler

He has a book called The God Delusion, he gets lectures to criticize religion, he has tweets criticizng religion. he is invited for debates to criticize religion - It seems obvious what makes him famous, am I right.

No, you are not right. He was already famous to people interested in evolution, having written several books on it, long before he wrote The God Delusion.

Quote:My problem - They promote groupthinking as much as any other person or group and some atheists seem them as being always right and that's a very dangerous idea. I listened to them, I have read The God Delusion - I don't get the big deal about it, I was expecting something more rational and intellectually sophisticated. It's terrible to think A+ is a bad group and suddenly Richard Dawkins' following cult is ok because Dawkins is different. I have no issue with any of them as people, and some points are good, but for the most part I was expecting more. Someone like Freud who actually studied religion and knew how to criticize it made more contributions against religion on a paper than Dawkins in a lifetime

Read his books on evolution.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
