Quote from: lord gibbon on September 14, 2013, 06:52:13 pmDamn, what an idiot. I'll admit that I'm not very friendly to religion either, but I've actually read books like the Bible and the Koran. And while fear is certainly an important part of religion, especially organized religion, it is far from the only part. it would have died out a long time ago if that were the case. And really, is he so sure he's read Dawkins right? Cause I'm a huge Dawkins fan as well, and I don't recall him ever getting so... extreme. Hitchens I can se doing that, but Dawkins, I'm not so sure about.In fact, let me express annoyance at this guy and his ilk as well. They are the biggest threat to the atheism movement, not religious fundamentalists. They make atheists look like fools, giving credence to the idea that its "just another religion". Dawkins's twitter as well as his blog and facebook tend to be very stark examples of how gross he can be.

There are very few problems that cannot be solved with a good taint punching.
He also recently said that sexual abuse isn't always harmful.

Dawkins went on to say that one of his former school masters “pulled me on his knee and put his hand inside my shorts,” and that to condemn this “mild touching up” as sexual abuse today would somehow be unfair.
People who think it's okay to touch my hair without my permission.It's like there's some kind of hormone in curly hair that causes everyone to turn into social morons as soon as they're in its presence.

It's like when people want to feel the baby kicking on a visibly pregnant woman.

You know, the part that says "Don't ask people about their medications/surgical history"? Yeah,
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Even then, it's probably not a good idea to say, "Let me see your crotch!" unless you know them *very* well and have the type of friendship where you're both cool with it.
