Richard Dawkins- rationalist or religious nut?

[FBM]

Hey, Jonesboy. Do you believe in a god or something? Just wondering.

I believe,and I will be honest, I belive in or something.
Nah. I don't believe at all really. I am a logician. A bard. A kundalini-intuitive. Life can be hard.

Oh. OK. That's nice. Thanks.

[Jason]

Anyway.
Two weeks ago I shook hands with two of the Jacksons in Cardiff Bay, where they had their concert.
And I trained with the gOdfather of lSD.
What you done thar boy? Hun'g?

Poor kid. I think he's saying he's traumatized and strung out on acid. It's hard to tell, he's barely coherent.

Share your pains with us. It's hard for you to tell, we know, we understand, but we are here to help.

Ah. Attempt at deep personalization with your target. Amusing. I'm good though, thanks. Sipping tea and watching shows.

How are you, self-proclaimed keyboard warrior? I hope you're finding it pleasant here.

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...

Great picture. Duff caption. Looks like a halloween response to Plato's Republic.

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?

Oh I got it all right and it was far funnier than the pop at Dawkins.

This thread could be extremely amusing if Gawd and Exi5 joined in the fun...

Everybody stop being meanie weenies

Jonesboy is obviously a sensitive creature of delicate sensibilities. He must be treated with extra care lest he be traumatized by your gruff rudeness. It is a cruel cruel world out there and he obviously needs to be comforted. The senseless lashing out at Richard Dawkins and various others is clearly a plea for help. Help that we alone can give.

Now, let us all give him a special warm welcome and say something nice to him.

Jonesboy: you do not smell as bad as the stuff I found growing in a Tupperware container in the back of the fridge and with some effort into persona hygiene, you could almost not look as bad either.

See: it isn't that difficult.

I was just thinking the exact same thing! What are the odds?

[Hermit]

Needs poll.

I suggest three options.

Richard Dawkins is a rationalist.
Richard Dawkins is a religious nut.
That's Professor Dr Dr Dr Dr Dr Dr Dr Dr Dr Dr Dr Dr Richard Dawkins to you.

Revoting allowed, but it will only register a vote when you click on option three.

[tattuchu]

He's obviously a religious nut, no two ways about it. We can rationalize all we want in an effort to evade the obvious, but deep down we all know the truth. Nut.
Right. So now that's sorted, the only question remains...which kind of nut? I say filbert

Szeretné, hogy jöjjön vissza hozzám? Ugráló goromba!

[Jonesboy]

Got bored now. Byye.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

What a pity, I was going to ask your opinion on the Ballsacian Heresy.

[Robert_S]

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.
