He is also correct on topics of religion most of the time, and no one really dislikes him, they just do it to seem "cool" hth.


Jastiger posted:

Doesn't make him wrong, nor his detractors right.

all his critiques of 'religion' are merely critiques of judeo-christian religion. none of his critiques of religion in general have anything valid or to say about the brahman/atman dynamic of vedic hinduism, for example.

you said his critiques of religion are 'mostly right' but he doesn't have anything to say about religion itself, only about the literalist fraction of a fraction of currently extant religious beliefs, which he is too stupid to realize doesn't encompass all of religion. Evidence -



what he does have to say about religion is so limited in scope and ambition you would have to be a moron to find at all interesting. "Oh, there isn't a giant man in the sky who gets mad about things?? great point mr. dawkins, never thought of it like that". he deserves the same level of praise and admiration as a mathematician who spends his time proving the transitive property over and over.

Except that is literally what religious folks believe. ...a man or power is in the sky in some way shape or form. They believe things without evidence which is inferior to things with evidence. He can be rude but that doesn't make him wrong just because It bugs some people.

Atheism is a product of post-Reformation Confessionalism., it doesn't make sense is any other context. Also people in Sri Lanka don't watch panel shows where English nerds harrumph at one another.

The first questions aliens will ask us is "have you heard about Space Jesus" because without a doubt they're going to be missionaries.

You know, I looked up what kind of woman would have an insufferable jerk like Dip Diggins and it turns out he's married to Romana. ROMANA. But more importantly, married.

Marriage. A religious institution.

No, all secular perversions of religious traditions are still derived from religious traditions, and could not have arisen in a vacuum, only by the direct influence of Jehovah.
