"Are you saying then that if you post to a thread saying anything that you are proving a point of someone who's paper you supplied a link to? Most people have been far more interested in why you posted it than what it contained. "

No I am saying that a reasonable person would look at the title and say to themselves "of course they cannot be lumped together." and either say so and not bother to post. Which brings me to the unreasonable people who constantly lump all religious people together for sake of argument (Steve Shaw) or the sake of mockery (Ian Mather) who see any mention of atheism as a personal attack even when it is not personal or an attack.

The title of this thread came about after that. The spelling is due to a typo after a few beers and those same few beers making me not care much about proofreading or how it looked.

I have seen you say that you don't care about this issue many times. I have seen you say that you are not an atheist many times.
I have seen you say that you are just "taking the piss."

Your involvement in this thread belies all of that. You are a dogmatic zealot who cares very much and who "attacks" believers with "humour". You clearly demonstrate this time and again and any time anyone puts up a hoop for you to jump through, no matter how clumsy, no matter how spontaneous, you will jump through it.

Keep in mind that Dawkins is a hero only to those with a chip on their shoulder who closely share his beliefs. To all others he is unknown or unremarkable. Keep in mind that he refuses to debate with real adversaries. C of E bishops are hardly going to stoop to name calling and ridicule as he does. Mirroring him is not a path to debate Nirvana.

Get to know yourself better Ian Mather. Show some self awareness. Show some self restraint. You can start by not responding to this.
