And this is the problem I have with people who single out religion (and I not imply you, specifically) and seem to create an indentity based on that - I am free thinker because I reject organized religion -that makes a me a 'bright' like Dawkins -- (who is actually an idiot when it comes to geo political conflict) |
I agree with should question all dogma whether religious, political or social in nature.
I also think Dawkins appears a little full of himself and doesn't have the personality to be able to pull it off.
