Richard Dawkins- rationalist or religious nut?

[Azathoth]

[hadespussercats]

Richard Dawkins doctrines, all of them, are religious doctrines dressed up. His not-so-new religion is designed to appeal to atheists and science nerds.Read and be amazed! :

Dawkins believes that life, in its essence, is flawed or selfish.
Just like the Church.
The Church believes that life, in its essence, is flawed or originally sinful. Strike one.

Dawkins believes that genes survive.
Just like the Church.
The Church believes that people survive. Dawkins calls it copying, the Church calls it reincarnation. But nothing survives death. Strike two.

Dawkins believes in favoured forms - survival of the fittest.
Just like the Church.
The Church believes in favoured forms - the lineage of the prophets. Strike three.

Dawkins believes that evolved structures - Dawkin's designoids, are forms.
Just like the Church.
The Church believes that evolved structures - God's designs, are forms. Strike four.

Dawkins believes that without Dawkinian altruistic intervention we are blind machines.
Just like the Church.
The Church believes that without Jesus' altruistic intervention we are blind machines. Strike five.

Richard Dawkins? rationalist? More like the worlds biggest religious fraud.
Richard will later be on display for his followers, pickled by his beloved Church in a specimen bottle, where he can be seen slowly fermenting, bubbling, blackening, and decaying. Strike six...

The OP will have more time to spend here - he's already banned at atheistforums.org.

Hello, Jonesby. I think you'll find most folks around here aren't really followers of Dawkins.

Great News. Where's the party?

[Jonesboy]

Well that was stunning wasn't it ? Glad I'm not anAtheist because right now I'd have to frantically try and refute that insightful post

So you're not an atheist and you don't want to refute it, or you're an atheist and you don't want to refute it? put me right.
What the hell has atheism got to do with Dawkins anyway? He's a religious nut. That's what I was told.

[Jonesboy]

yeh.

[Jonesboy]

Richard Dawkins's approach to religion is religiously motivated

Explanation required. :deadpan:

Explanation given. :doorstop.

[Jonesboy]

This seems like someone watched Adam Curtis' "All watched over by Machines of Loving Grace." Heard Curtis' gag about Dawkins reinventing the concept of the soul through the transfer of information through the immortal D.N.A. and ran with it without getting the joke or the entire point of Curtis' show.

(And Pokemon computer games are logic based, nothing in the big book of bullshit comes even close to being so elegantly designed, shit though such games may be.)

Curtis put it exactly. Did you get it?

[Jonesboy]

Oh boy, you're being trolled by a master

You better believe it. Pray for it.
I am unsurpassed in argument. I've done you over countless times before. You try to cross swords with me and you WILL come off worse.
The best that anyone can hope for here is a ban against me- and that's a win. For me.

[Jonesboy]

Oh boy, you're being trolled by a master

Since people troll themselves, I would agree.

On good days I am like a gar. Taking the bait, swimming about about, playing with the angler, fighting and getting reeled in and even lifted out of the water... then spitting out the bait and hook and swimming on my merry way.

I will break your bones and sip your blood from your skull cap. Then you may go on your merry way.

[Jonesboy]

When he says 'The Church' can we assume he means the holy roman pederasts ?

Yes. Dawkins doctrines are an outcry against his rape.

Seems that Chuck has chosen to retreat

Yeh. Come on Chuck. We need you. They need you for support, and I need someone to tear to shreds. You can do both jobs at once.

So the creatards got that wrong too. No surprise there, is it?

No not really, but then when the rudamentary belief that shapes your behaviour is so erroneous, all that comes after is boud to be a fucking disaster.

Dear wollly savoury,
Where the hell did you read THAT!
Dull, predictable, staid.

[Jonesboy]

'Ello, 'ello, 'ello, - what's going on 'ere then?

You started all this. Now you ask what's going on? Are you, like INVISIBLE?
You will be shot on sight.
