I don't know if Stephen actually intended to mock the psychics, but Allen's response: "Stephen rightly mocks the psychics" is I think innappropriate. Because their world view (presuming the psychics believe they are truly psychics) differs from one's own does not give one the right to "rightly" mock them.
The fact that Dawkins loves to mock, belittle, use name calling, and encourage disrespect of religion and religious people I think speaks to his adolescent-like emotional maturity and should not be emulated. >From my point of view, the "'God saved them' argument'" isn't intended as an argument and does not lead to '"a brittle kind of religiousness'". It's simply a statement of belief (which, by the way, cannot be shown to be incorrect). --Mike --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
