MY PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE OF RICHARD DAWKINS
MARCH 26, 2014 JOXUA LUXOR
In the book, Dawkins mentions one occasion when a teacher put a hand down his trousers at a prep school in Salisbury, and four others at Oundle, when he “had to fend off nocturnal visits to my bed from senior boys much larger and stronger than I was”.

A man perhaps who has watched too many repeats of Psycho. 🙄

I know.
Thing is though, after listening to Dawkins' little sermonette wolfgang posted above I had an impression about Dawkins and was looking for something to collaborate with my own assessment.
Dawkins is an egotist. Just my personal opinion.

Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukelook, I'm certain Dawkins is a decent fellow by any standard, but his vendetta against God and His church makes Dawkins an enemy of Christ.

If Richard Dawkins wants to dish it out to Christians then he should be able to take some critiquing of himself.
Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeDo you have a similar dislike for Dawkins's wild and generally bigoted claims about theists? He urges that believers in God should be publically insulted and ridiculed. So I'd say your annoyance is selective much.

Like I say, attacking the writer not the writing. Always a sign of weakness.
Atheist philosopher John Gray has denounced Dawkins as an "anti-religious missionary" whose assertions are "in no sense novel or original," suggesting that, "transfixed in wonderment at the workings of his own mind, Dawkins misses much that is of importance in human beings." Gray has also criticized Dawkins's perceived allegiance to Darwin, stating that if "science, for Darwin, was a method of inquiry that enabled him to edge tentatively and humbly toward the truth, for Dawkins, science is an unquestioned view of the world."[125]
Originally posted by @sonshipDespite the generalised views you may have about atheists, I know next to nothing about Dawkins and have never read any of his books. (The walls of my house also contain no posters or shrines to Dawkins or Darwin).

Consider then the critique of another Atheist.

Originally posted by @sonshipSeparate ideas from people. But you are from the camp that propagates personality cults, like jones and koresh.

I don't think so. We are what we think. The ideas, thoughts and words we use reflects who and what we are when we express those ideas, thoughts and words related to the meaning of life and living.
Unless of course you're talking about recipes for cooking asparagus.
