Do you agree with Richard Dawkins?

Damn. Sometimes i think people are so used to dealing with the apologists they forget how actual philosophy works. It was not an appeal to authority.

The hell it wasn't. The inference was having studied philosophy gives your opinion more credibility;it does not.

Oh, I'd appreciate it if you would try not to patronise me with fatuous ad hominems, there' a good chap.

I'd appreciate the same consideration with patronizing comments regarding the fact that even though I've studied philosophy doesn't mean that I know less about it than someone who has not. I don't pretend to be an absolute authority on the matter but I certainly have thought the issue of ethics through philosophically and logically. This is different than, once again, someone shooting off the cuff.

Like I said it was an attempt to demonstrate that I was trained in philosophy and had been presented arguments for moral relativism in that context.
