Richard Dawkins new book out in 2009

RE: Richard Dawkins new book out in 2009
Yes, the website is now down, but basically it was this.

Some moronic fundie made a huge article "Logical Proof of the Existence of a Divine Creator, Why Atheism is Not Logically Sound" with more straw man arguments and fallacies you can shake a stick at. And Martin Wagner of the ACA did what he does well and completely annihilated the article in an excellent rebuttal. Of course when fundies get backed into a corner they start to lash out and start crying on a fundie-friendly forum. With some new-found courage the fundie the goes to the RDF where he claims how bad he has been treated and of course there he gets the exact same response as a fundie would get here. By that time he started his spamming campaign and threats, which Martin takes in his stride, as a host on the Atheist Experience and the non-prohets radio show he would be doing a bad job if he didn't get spammed by disgruntled fundies. Smile

But then the fundie started to mutilite Martins wiki with accusations of drug abuse and pedophilia! Martin would never have sued him if he hadn't continued over three solid months of harassment, until he was just tired of it all and decided the guy needed a lesson. So Martin filed a lawsuit and accepted donations for the legal fees. In return as a thank you he had new shirts printed for the Atheist Experience and every donation over 16 USD would get a shirt.

The fundie has backed down now, and Martin dropped the charges.
Best regards,
