   Huh! So Dawkins, much like Haggard, actively advocated denying civil   
   rights to the same minority that, it turns out, he himself belongs to?   
   He waged war and is responsible for killing thousands of people who do   
   not share his narrow interpretation of which god and how has to be followed?   
   Yes, Dawkins is exactly like Haggard and Bin Laden. If you're a moron.   
      
   What's that? Oh, I see, Dawkins is a "know-it-all"? This is the best you   
   can come up with?

   Try to wrap this thought around whatever passes for your brains:   
      
   The only reason any atheist ever bothers to respond to the   
   ever-increasingly pushy, aggressive, illiterate, socially, morally and   
   scientifically backwards claims of religionists and theists is in   
   response to the highly detrimental effects that religion has on the   
   whole society, from overt and covert work against human rights to   
   religiously inspired wars and genocide and enormous waste of resources.   
   If theists and religionists of all sorts learned to keep their beliefs   
   confined to their homes and churches, no one would give a flying fuck   
   about them. Religion would be just another exhibit in the interesting,   
   yet somewhat morbid exhibit in the curiosity shop that is human   
   civilization.
