The Big Vengeance Cheese: accept me as your personal savior, or suffer in stinky agony for all eternity.
As for the personal insults. You have declared that Richard Dawkins is a fool and an idiot because of his opinions and statements. Extropolated, that sounds to me like you're saying that any of us here who share his opinions and make similar statements are fools and idiots. For instance, what if I was to say, "Jesus was an idiot! What an evil guy he was!" It's possible that believers might be rather incensed by those remarks, right? even though Jesus was a public figure, and (arguably) not here with us now.
Believers: I do not maintain that Jesus was an idiot or evil guy. He was cool. Please do not take my remarks out of context.
