I think it's quite funny how they refer to the "code" in the qu'ran that describes human evolution then provide no link to it, or even briefly describe what it says.
[quote]EvF, I think that's totally necessary, when RD dies, it can be almost guaranteed that stories about his deathbed conversion will circulate.[/quote] It's not NECESSARILY necessary (lol, just to be pedantic). But I personally, yes - think it's totally fucking awesome!
I think I wanna do it TOO! Even though I'm not famous - even if just for kicks!
lol.
[quote]Even with a tape, classic theist logic could be used... "Well he didn't convert to definitely-not-christianity, so that's a valid reason to believe he was a christian"

LOL - how the fuck would that work though lol? If you're an atheist you don't believe in God or Jesus as anything more than just a man - so you can't be Christian! If you're an atheist you ARE by definiton - a 'definitely-not-christian'!
UNLESS you are including simply a CULTURAL Christian. BUT - the hypothetical Christians calling him that would be meaningless - because Dawkins ALREADY calls himself a CULTURAL Christian because 'we live in a Christian culture here', etc. I've heard him say it!
Which of course has nothing to do with actually believing it.
They could try and find a loop-hole but they'd have to be even MORE pathetic because they'd have fuck-all to go by.
So...? Hm. Lol
