jo: i would like to point out that i do not think mr. dawkins is not an atheist. i just think that 'God does not exist' is not his primary thrust. it is not his main concern. he is more concerned that people practice religion and this is itself diabolical and offensive to his own character. in this way he very much puts himself in the position of God by decrying vehemently with wild accusations (as is appropriate to a simple human who is more concerned with his emotions about an issue than the truth of it, something everyone falls into, myself included, though a true God would not lower himself to it) anything that he disagrees with. it is an 'agree with me or die' sort of mentality, though not (yet) that extreme in action.
