Richard Dawkins- rationalist or religious nut?

Post by Jonesboy » Sat Oct 22, 2011 4:38 pm

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...

Cut and pasted to the unparalleled democracy AtheistForums.org recently, but I'm just trying to trace it to its source.

Almost as funny as analogies you can find in the bible itself, and just as nonsensical. Here is one of my favourites:

Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. [Ephesians 5:24]
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould

Oh Hai!

You look new, and yet strangely familiar all at once.

I think you have missed a third possibility that Richard might have made a religion of rationalism and it drove him nutty. It is easy to overlook this possibility since being a religious nut is hardly rational, but since when have religious nuts been free of hypocrisy?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The Net is best considered analogous to communication with disincarnate intelligences. As any neophyte would tell you. Do not invoke that which you have no facility to banish.

You forgot one JonesBoy.

Richard Dawkins was sexually molested as a child.
Just like many a young Church goer.

Hey this is fun. :?
