There are exemptions, of course, but since Dawkins himself is not one of them we can very well forget about the exemptions.
Dawkins was right in writing what he wrote of the God of the OT but he obviously failed to study the rest of the ancient texts or he would not had been surprised with the deeds of the God of the Jews.
Atheists do like driving cars but they do not like reading and so they believe what they are told just as the theists do. Atheists believe that their ancestors deified the elements of nature and theists that the deity created the elements of nature. No difference !!

Last time I try to give pleasant forum advice to a theist... ears blocked up with cotton wool, and then continues with strawmen and fallacies galore.
Next time I'll just tell you to fuck off. Sheesh... you try to be nice..

@dtango: Wow. Generalize much? Don't presume to think you can speak for me.

Dude, that was really funny. If you honestly think it wasn't a joke then there is something wrong with you. Humour makes my world go round, baby.

dtango, I am not here to censor myself or really to censor anyone else. If the only thing you took away from my suggestion was that I swore, you weren't paying attention. Repeated posts in a single thread that are copy and pasted from another site can be considered spam, which is against the rules. Do yourself a favor and pay attention to the staff instead of getting your panties in a bunch over my choice of words. I didn't come in here all renegade to swear at you.

Seriously, what a load of bullshit. I read every. possible. piece of information. I can get my hands on. That would be information about Christianity and other belief systems, by the way. Yes, I know my profile says deist, however, I solidly align myself with atheism too. To say that atheists (As in everyone who attaches that label to themselves) don't read because they disagreed with you, is like saying that Christians don't believe that God inspired the bible, because you find one Christian who doesn't.
I bet you were born in the seventies, right? The physics of 2D platform games are hard to get over, I know.

Actually, just because I don't choose to read his rambling copy & paste doesn't mean I don't like to read. I have actually spent thousands of hours reading about the history of christianity and other religions as well. Anyone who has gone head to head with me is aware that I am, at least on some level, a student of history.
