Please, don't misunderstand; I have the utmost respect and admiration for Dawkins. I'm just saying it's not unreasonable to think that a Theist may have a personal distaste for an outspoken anti-theist. It's personal for her. It doesn't mean she is trying to start trouble on the forums. That's all I'm saying.
What I don't understand is why does she garner so much respect around here.
I have known CL for approximately two years, and during that time she has never treated me with anything other than kindness and respect. She has shared a lot of painful personal experiences with us here, and I have shared painful personal experiences with her. She communicates with me as one person speaking to another person; not as a Christian speaking to an atheist. She has never preached to me, talked at me without listening, or pushed her beliefs on me in any way. Why wouldn't I respect her? I don't have a need to resent theists as a default simply because of their beliefs. Do we disagree on pretty much everything that involves religion and politics? Yes, lol. But I find her to be a lovely and sincere individual, and I'm glad she's with us. She also has a great sense of humor. 😁
