This is just becoming a game of semantics. Of course there are crimes that are mild in relation to other crimes. Shooting someone in the head could be a far "milder" form of murder than hours of torture and a long drawn-out death. To be honest I don't really care, they would both still be murder and are both terribly wrong. The fact that Dawkins even puts molestation in the same breath as religious teaching is sickening.

We have a judicial system that makes levels out of crimes for a reason. And Dawkins isn't a judge or even a lawyer, but an educated man stating his opinion. You don't have to agree with it. Using Adrian as an example, many atheists don't. He's no christ figure, but he is a victim of the hero worship people place on just about any celebrity. There are fansites to Ben Affleck, for fuck's sake.
Sure blame it all on me :-P That's because I am not morally relavistic because I see the logical problems with it.
