Dawkins's tour still stirs fear and panic among xtians in US, like Catholic Crux who posted this recently:
"While he [Dawkins] preaches to the choir, believers and atheists alike will summon the respect and maturity required to critique ideas, not caricatures of each other. They will seriously engage arguments and the values that flow from them."
Yeah I can already envision the arguments:
(image explanation: drawing of religious people that want to stay in dark of stupidity by whacking only source of knowledge - the science)
Let's face it
Really
(image explanation: why should we listen to holy books on where we're going when they failed epically in where we came from)
But the problem is that religious people don't have just problems with science and atheists, but also with other religions. Remember
(image explanation: religion main cause for wars)
And then the shit continues with:
Untold millions will continue to believe that there is more to existence than the physical universe. In spite of our science and our technology, they will perceive that we are creatures within nature rather than masters over it. And they will look to theology for what science cannot provide — robust conceptions of meaning and ethics.
Oh yeah the ethics of the ancient carpenter
(image explanation: man stoning woman because she's not a virgin, since bible tells them to)
But maybe they thought fucking Quran?
And even Bristol Palin jumped on the bandwagon of idioic religious people that want to teach Dawkins a lesson:
"This is the problem with radical atheists like Richard Dawkins. Their agenda is to attack people of all faiths. And Dawkins has to fit even something as obviously evil as the terrorist attacks on 9/11 into his own radical agenda.
So the radical atheist ends up defending the radical jihadists, because according to his crazy ideas, they aren’t evil – they were just brainwashed.
This is an extreme misunderstanding and underestimation of our dangerous terrorist enemies."
She calls it “disrespectful” to the 9/11 victims’ families and even says such talk helps “the terrorists’ agenda.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
