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 can sympathise with this, but point out that
exactly the same hypocrisy is displayed by some (not all) believers. The crass film cited in post #494 et seq is an illustration. The interview was obtained by deception, and edited dishonestly. To my mind that is an equivalent case of "blind arrogance."
As such it may preach to the already converted but is likely to meet with sheer derision elsewhere.
I honestly wonder whether such people really believe in what they are doing, thinking that any duplicity is justifiable in their cause; or whether they are just out to make a reputation among naive believers.
