Well, I don't agree with Dawkins and I have that right. I am allowed to be offended by what he says. I will never try to stop him from saying those things that is his right as a person.
I am not turning a blind eye to anything. I'm not sure what you want me to say. I just answered the question as honestly as I could. If you don't like my answer then that is fine by me, you don't have to. But we can still be friends.
It's not that you don't have a right to be offended, it's just that being offended is not an argument.
Like, when you see stuff like this in the Bible:
Leviticus 20:13 “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them.”
You don't think it is homophobic, and just blame Dawkins for saying it is? Or do you think that God is right and that gays should be put to death?
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"
