I haven't read Dawkins so I shouldn't realy comment.

There are times when I can't help myself though...

IF and that is a genuine big if, he is saying that religion is no longer to be tolerated that he is guilty of an intolerance equal any religious zealot. Whether he is more justified in his views or not does not matter. Any form of intolerance for anothers views should be viewed with a certain amount of trepidation.

The bigotry of some scientists (and I have already said I have NOT read Dawkins so I do not include him) in saying thay are right, to the exclusion of all others, defies logic to me I'm afraid. Surely they should all be constantly question to update their knowledge rather than dealing in absolutes?
