Trouble at t'mill.

Do you realise how funny that question sounds coming from a contributor to ReligionEthics?

Then you are easily amused.

[ProfessorDavey]

But they do know who Dawkins is.

Yup - and probably many of us knew him first as an evolutionary biology of some renown who wrote a number of popular books on the topic.

Vlad - you seem to be the one obsessed with his 'atheist' output - by contrast the only book of his I've ever read is the blind watchmaker many years ago.

[ProfessorDavey]

The vast majority of people who lack a belief in god(s) will have no clue who Dillahunty and Mehta are.

Indeed - never heard of either of them before - who are they?

I've watched a lot of Matt Dillahunty's stuff on YouTube I have to admit.

[Walt Zingmatilder]

Is there a bit in the board membership where it lists not thinking what Matt Dillahunty thinks of Richard Dawkins.is a requirement?

They have expressed an opinion on the acts of Dawkins.
They have reported on "The Great Richard" His wonders to behold. As you might report tidings of the Pope and Priests so I occasionally report on what's happening to the high rollers in the atheist world.

All of this just springs from your love of "Big Dick"

Yes and it is in his case, the journey of a renowned figure in science through New Atheism down to social media notoriety

Are you saying I have a craving?

'Don't tell him, Pike!'

Too late. Forrest Valkai too. Full disclosure .....

Are you upset that atheists failed to deify Richard Dawkins. I'm very sorry, but we* don't do that sort of thing.

*"we" means some loose group of like minded atheists who do not put people on pedestals, not a community.

I'm also a member of the not believing in chocolate teapots circling Saturn community

Which kind of puts you in the Brotherhood of the Horse laugh fallacy imo

Not so much their failure to deify him, Jeremy, more their failure to defy him.

Definitly that one too. Which chapter are you in?

It's a secret.

[Dicky Underpants]

Is there a bit in the board membership where it lists not thinking what Matt Dillahunty thinks of Richard Dawkins.is a requirement?

Ah, but he's "a leading public atheist", it seems. Reminds me of old St. Malcolm Muggeridge, who used to talk about "leading European homosexuals" (he had in mind Somerset Maugham and Andre Gide, I think - did they lead Europe into homosexuality?).

[Dicky Underpants]

Damn good book, in fact. Joyce Carey, wasn't it? Sorry, Horse's Mouth....
