Subject: RE: BS: Can all Athiests be lumped together?
Too late. I have done.

What has Dawkins got to do with not believing in imaginary friends? You speak as if he represents a different superstition. Bishops have imaginary friends so other than the weather I'm not sure what common ground they could argue. Mind you, a person by thenname of Richard Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist of some standing debated with the Archbishop of Canterbury the other year on the telly. Quite interesting really. May I suggest you read up on this English Dawkins? Unlike yours, he doesn't look for followers or tells people what to believe, but as a scientist has an interesting and refreshing disdain for the influence of superstition.

I've even read some of his books. The ones on genetics are quite good.

So.... where can I find information on this Dawkins you have a fixation with?
