@ Gideon:
What part of his arguments against faith were so atrocious?
The part where children should not be sold into spiritual slavery?
Telling people that they have a right to choose, and letting people know that "none of the above" is an option when it comes to religion?
Could the fault lie in his assessment that saying "it's Turtles [my apologies for earlier] all the way down" is just as silly and indefensible as "Jesus told me to kill that doctor?"
Maybe it was the part where he said that being a staunch "THERE IS NO GOD" atheist was rather as foolish as "THERE IS A GOD THERE IS A GOD" theists are?
That last part made me really think. Here is a man whose work has been misunderstood by layman and turned into something as repugnant as social Darwinism (see Jeff Skilling & _The Selfish Gene_) pointing out the absolute folly of absolutism.
What part of Dr. Dawkin's book was so unintelligent?
Personally, I loved all the resources at the end for people who believed that there was no hope, and no way out of the cult into which they were bred.
