re: #260 buzzsawmonkey

His stance is basically the same as that of a half-naked drag queen shaking it at a staid burgher at a gay pride parade; “Hey, there! Look-a me! I’m your worst nightmare, an atheist evolutionist, and I’m in your face!”

Chuckling at this phrase because, um, drag queens (at least those who aren’t also surgical transsexuals) are in fact rather reliant on clothing to help create the “illusion.”

Dawkins has to decide whether he wants to get his short term jollies playing the drag queen, or whether he wants to help ensure that science and religion stay separate.

So Dawkins, as a Brit, should keep quiet about one of his passions (promoting atheism) because his outspokenness is politically inconvenient for us Yanks who are dealing with the issue of Creationism in our public high-school classrooms?
