Here’s my post:

Oh, blah blah blah. Here’s my last paragraph, which you conveniently did not quote:

Please understand it pains me to put Dawkins in with that group. I find him to be a brilliant writer, probably the best in the science world working today. But he does science, and the rest of us who believe that advancing science, especially to those who need a better understanding of it, as crucial to our collective future, no favors with his strident advocacy of his particular brand of Atheism.

Don’t be a troll.

Well, there’s a response that doesn’t address a damn thing!

I suppose you want an answer.

Frankly, I like Richard Dawkins. I agree with him almost 100% on all issues and the science. If that means I “believe” in Richard Dawkins, then I believe in Richard Dawkins.

When it comes to these matters I would list the following in those that I hold in high esteem:

Daniel Clement Dennett
Richard Dawkins
Christopher Hitchens
Sam Harris

The Four Horsemen. Which is a fascinating video conversation by the way.
