My chat with Richard Dawkins

[FallentoReason]

As quoted from Cato123: "You just don't fucking get it, do you?"

If you don't "need dawkins" Then I am not talking to or about you. My efforts are directed to the one who started this thread, and those who feel the need to quote others to validate their own points..

(appearently myself included)

You do understand that AF is a forum, right?

Let me get this bit straight though; you can quote the Bible, yet others earn a measure of disdain in your eye by quoting "others to validate thier own points...". How exactly does this work without invoking the word 'hypocrisy'?

Who quotes 'what' for the validation of your beliefs? When was the last time you quoted the gospels of Thomas, Judas, or Mary Magdelene? Are you now going to tell me that a fourth century Roman Emperor (Constantine), trying his best to consolidate power, didn't help dictate the canon to his advantage?

How does it feel? This is a serious question. How does it feel to abdicate your soul to a book and it's consequent traditions knowing that both were the product of musings of men two thousand years ago. Have you considered this? What of the other fact that there are always 'other' men demanding feliance and tything. No cause for concern?

Wow, good argument. I had never thought of it that way.

I think I can predict Drich's response: divine inspiration. I don't blame him for that answer though.
