The fact that you lost your hair proves evolution, suck on that Kurt Cameron.

So what does Jose Canseco prove?

Don't know if it's because I'm biased, but the menorah looks much cooler. What the hell is that from?
I recognize it as a 'shop of a still from the new Star Wars trailer. I'm not sure why it's been altered the way it has, but I thought the menorahsabre was cool.

Thanks for passing that on. I knew of Harris' and Hitchens' Islamophobia, but wasn't aware that Dawkins had also waded into that swamp. And Savage's point is well taken that the War on Terror opened the door for this form of atheism (i.e., imperialist, racist). That neat combination of being iconoclastic yet crudely conventional.

If there's a shitty viewpoint to be held, Dawkins will chase over to it using well-ordered Oxbridge English.

Fundamentalist _______ tends to do that to people after a certain tipping point in intensity of belief. And in the case of these guys, their own non-belief passed that tipping point where it became its own anti-religion, as opposed to just being against religion. Preachers of un-God, as it were. It's like when you start pushing far left and far right completely off the charts. Eventually spacetime bends and the two polar opposites start to converge in the same ugly place. And every one of these dudes they started reaching the same ugly place as their polar opposites:
Oh yeah, and don't forget the disgusting misogyny. You can't have religious and anti-religious fundamentalism without overabundance of misogyny.
My recollection is that I liked half of The God Delusion—the stuff that argued against the need for the supernatural was good; the rants against religion were not good—and hated Harris from start to finish. I honestly don't remember much about Hitchens' book except that I thought it was basically decent (tho I may well have been affected by Hitchens' writing). I don't remember any specific Islamophobia in it, but I think I listened to that book and may have missed it. I've never seen Maher's movie just because from what I heard it was just picking on the devout. Some deserve it—those who have real power—but most don't merit that degree of mocking.
