This is what happens to the arrogant apostles of Dawkins. They are exactly what they accuse religious people to be. Hypocrites who refuse to debate with reason, pulling things out of context and twisting facts to support their "faith" in atheism. They have ZERO answers themselves, yet are more than happy to attack people for their faith. Blind arrogance and making points by pulling things out of context does not make you right. It makes you ignorant.
I really didn't get it at first, but I can finally see the point of the original poster regarding this book being included on the reader because it is so offensive in attacking people for their faith. Dawkin's little disciples in this forum didn't like that, so they decided to attack the poster just as Dawkins himself would have.

Most of the people who've got involved in this, on any of the sides, have been treating each other with respect. We may not all have been agreeing with one another, but it's certainly not been a flame war or anything really beyond a bit of heated debate.
However, treating the atheists with the disrespect you have shown them in your first post may not be showing a good example...
