| Don't feel bad if you didn't get the joke. I am apparently not a very good comic. If I were I would clearly have taken the easy shot: "I'm only in it for the funny"... |

I don't think attacking Muslim women is funny or genital mutilation living room conversation.
But I am quite relieved you did not extrapolate all that from just someones avatar.
Try another funny. |

 However! If you didn't get it simply because you are obtuse, that is none of my affair. |

You just admitted to not being a good comic. You can try coming up with one that is funny so you won't have to apologize for your weak attempt at humor.

Menstrual gel, however, is perfectly acceptable living room conversation. |

justintime, please describe in detail which parts of Christianity you think Dawkins is ignorant of that make a stronger case for faith. |

I was responding to the fact that justintime thinks that FGM is not living room conversation, but in the thread "Math's Nerdy Reputation and Stereotypes Hurt Kids", he found it appropriate to post this:

It is less distracting than menstrual gel. |
Classy.

Thank you podcat. I did not have classy in mind but beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. |

And this is a problem because...? You seem to be suggesting that only experts on religion can criticize religion. That's absurd.
|
Absurd yes, but since he insists on expert criticism I suggest reading Bart Ehrman.
And I too am waiting for the answer to DaveW's question which has now been asked for the third time. |

I watched Dawkins on The Fox News debating Bil O'Reilly( Dawkins failed miserably). Dawkin's 4 horsemen with Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens and his The God Delusion.
The problem with Dawkins position is trying to explain everything through Darwinism.
Dawkins is against a personal god but admits Einsteins reference to god is acceptable.
I don't know if just an attack on creationist is really an attack on God, religion, Christianity. especially if when the answer is Darwinism which is just an Evolution Theory.
Dawkins respects the laws of physics but cannot explain why or who created it. Dawkins sees religion as having most successfully evolved with human evolution and yet cannot answer why Natural selection played a part in this.
Dawkins sees religion as mostly good, that it frees us from pure Darwinism but is against the fanatics and extreme aspects of religion which he admits is a small portion of what religion teaches.
Dawkins cannot explain the Altruism that human society exhibits a quality which only applied to kinship in pure Darwinian evolution. Yet Altruism is more prevalent in modern societies even among strangers.
Dawkins rejects the purposeful life that religion teaches and is rather comfortable finding purpose in writing books. So there is no higher purpose in Dawkins life or aspiration. Just selling books is the most one can see in this self directed atheist. |
