It's rare to read radio reviews by Richard Dawkins, but, bless him, he's been listening to BBC Radio 4 this afternoon and the experience has evidently severely punctured his equilibrium. He's evolved without intermediary stages straight into Dame Gillian Reynolds:
I heard that programme and it was quite enlightening about a range of religions and traditions and the symbolic meaning of blood. Nothing wrong with explaining why the Jehovah's Witnesses take that view and how medics deal with it. Dawkins is a fanatic and thus a dope himself.
ReplyDeleteHe may be a fanatic but - unlike a lot of fanatics - he is consistent in his fanaticism. I quite like his Anglican Atheism, as I do Atheistic Anglicanism.
DeleteWhat a sad age to live in when someone like Dawkins is described as a fanatic.
DeleteSmear and Dismiss
DeletePutting a smear-label on someone nd then dismissing them is a poor argument techniques usually used by lefty/liberals these days.
