Does Richard Dawkins resent the majority of atheists?

Post by Blondie » Wed Jan 12, 2011 10:36 pm

Given his history, the things he's said and done that we all know of, what do you think?
In this world there's two kinds of people: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk.

Happy Trails. :)

I don't think he gives much of a shit so long as he gets his agenda and his name plastered all over the place.

I don't know why he would/should/could - any clues?

What is his agenda? And why would he care to have his name plastered everywhere? What makes you think he isn't sincere?
I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. [...] I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn’t frighten me. - Richard Feynman

I think he resents some of us even more than Josh , It can't be nice for the petulant children ,those nasty perverts, to have been right about the golden child .
and I don't think he is quite as self serving as some people would like to portray him .

His agenda is to add a knighthood to his dozen or so honorary doctorates, and that is one reason why he cares to have his name plastered everywhere. I don't know if anyone thinks he is insincere about any of it.
