Re: Dawkins and 'The New Atheism' (4.00 / 3)

I'm always amazed how discussions about (almost) all divise topics can remain so civil on ET and how everyone actually listens and responds to the points made by others. Great diary.

I'll probably be back with some criticism, have to run now.

Re: Dawkins and 'The New Atheism' (4.00 / 7)

Please consider me to have made a personal attack on you in this comment. If you would, please assume that I both misread your words and misunderstood my own misreading, and as a consequence now regard you as as evil and almost inhuman. And, of course, that this attack brims with vitriol and offensive language.

Thank you for your imaginative help in this.

An allusion to the kind of responses Dawkins et al get from some "Christians" ?

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

I saw threads go down in flames over much simpler issues; I saw trolls train wrecking serious discussions before they really started, I saw debates on the shoulders of Orion...

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
