Richard Dawkins Can't Even Dress Himself (video)

There's no explosion and there isn't even much content since a whole lot goes to the Bible as literature and (cough) who gives a shit.  It seems obvious the book is literature when people are discussing it two thousand years later.

The Jewish rabbi (I guess) took him down on throwing out the Testaments and he really didn't have a problem with a broader view of them but Fundamentalists really bite his ass.  There was a Christian preacher who was kind of useless plus the hot babe on one end of the stage who most of the time smiled intelligently.




When preachers and rabbis didn't create Fundamentalists as, almost by definition, how could they, the question, it seems to us, switches to one of if they didn't do it then who or what did.


The amusing part for us here at the Rockhouse was when his genius hackles came up.  It was suggested the Testaments were written by geniuses and that got the instantaneous testerone injection.  I'm the fuckin' genius around here!

Dawkins did genius work in genetics, in case you observe what he does now and do your genius rating from that.  He's definitely a smart mofo so this looks more like Kardashian atheism than anything else.

We agree with the panel it's arrogant to dismiss the intelligence of those who wrote the Bible as the leaders of a rebellion are almost always wizards.  That they learned to read and write plus had the wisdom to compile a history in such a primitive time is wizardry by itself.  That we regard that time as primitive is also arrogant because it wasn't primitive to them and they were aspiring to the highest state of knowledge available at the time.


If I were a Christian, Dawkins wouldn't have convinced me of anything except that he still dresses like a graduate student and deliberately wears ugly ties.
