    The Freedom of Dublin for Richard Dawkins?

    Given the efforts and courage shown by Professor Richard Dawkins in taking a stand to advance the cause of reason and science, to the ends of riding the World of Superstition.
    Fianna Fail will allow the Irish People, to me milked like Milch Cows, by the CIF through high house prices, rents, and land prices, at the expense of competitiveness,and quality of life. FF+CIF=1

    Pauriceen, would you ever leave off? Is it OCD or something? Daily routine: Get up, make some tea, start a thread against religion, put on your clothes...

    I am in favour of grammar and spelling; otherwise, I am open to argument.

    For years, millions of fine, upstanding atheists and agnostics have watched and stewed as the religious right expanded its influence throughout public life, and as the World closed its mind and opened its heart to angels, aliens, ghosts, psychics, Jesus, astrology, Kabbalah, Genesis, Revelation. ... As Sam Harris wrote in The End of Faith, "Unreason is now ascendant in the United States -- in our schools, in our courts, and in each branch of the federal government.

    Only 28 percent of Americans believe in evolution; 68 percent believe in Satan. Ignorance in this degree, concentrated in both the head and belly of a lumbering superpower, is now a problem for the entire world."

    It is up to atheist/secularist groups and individuals to do what we can to stop global worming (people groveling like worms before nonexistent deities).


    Religion in general is based on falsehoods -- comforting beliefs in a heavenly parent or big brother; hopes of surviving death -- and on utility or expedience: socially cohesive tribal myths; politically useful codes of law and behavior; divine ordination of rulers (including certain presidents); attempts to explain, influence, or placate nature and the elements; the wish to raise ourselves above (i.e., deny our place among) the animals. Religion may help people feel their lives have a loftier purpose than the mere satisfaction of material wants and sensual desires, but it does it with smoke and mirrors, at the cost of our respect for truth and of our integrity and dignity.
