Richard Dawkins is a Poopyhead!

I'd still be a little careful with the use of the astericks. Sentence-enhancers even covered up can give people the wrong interpretation.

Either that, or you are really getting mad and frustrated at us all, which I'm not sure why.
Having to deal with people who don't understand simple concepts tends to anger me. And it's part of my PTSD, I have a hair triggered temper. I'll someday explain what having PTSD is like to you

You don't have to. I consider myself to have had a form of it at one point.

If you're going through kind of an emotional point right now, I am too. Though mine manifests in a more feminine way given I'm kind of feminine for a guy.

Then there is no real reason to call him a scientist anymore since no longer does any science. Calling Dawkins a scientist is like calling Tom Cruise a bell hop even though he gave that up decades ago

So because someone changes their job you are of the opinion that six years studying at university to gain his qualifications should be flushed down the drain.

I qualified at uni and am an internationally respected graphic artist. Are you saying i am no longer a graphic artist because i retired?

Methinks you are being rather picky in letting your bias chose anothers profession.

You want to see my ****ing atheist credentials? I have a god-damned PhD in ****ing atheism. I can school most of you in how to be a ****ing atheist and I think most of you calling yourself atheists are posers. Especially, the atheists calling themselves Buddhists

Bullpoop

Is Tom Cruise still a qualified bell hop? I mean he was trained to be one

I don't like him and he just rubs me the wrong way. He has the personality of annoying snot nose brat who thinks that only the elite can understand his petulant meanderings which he thinks are profound and significant. And he has a face which the Germans would call Backpfeifengesicht.
He's just jealous!

He's a frustrated prophet!

:p

Does that make him a bell hop,?

Which university did he get his bell hop qualification from?

Methinks you are throwing in strawman here, anyone can carry someone else luggage. I am sure even the worshipful Tom Cruise is capable. There would no doubt be queues to employ him as a celebrity bell hop should he choose to take that direction.

That doesnt mean he hasn't produced good science in the past and if his new job pays batter and he enjoys it, who are you to gripe?

Well his phenotype work is widely regarded as stating the obvious.

And theological critical statement are seen as nieve and childish

Looks like atheism picked the right poster boy

Please could you provide citation!

Theological statements are fun, they do often upset theological minded people but facts often do

BTW,
A/ by his own admission is not atheist
B/ he chose himself, no Atheist conclave chose him, seems you are not that well up on atheism

I don't find Dawkins agnostic argument very convincing. And thanks for reminding me 'atheists' who use 'you don't understand atheism' as an argument are the worst

What you find convincing is irrelevant, it it not your prerogative to judge anothers belief.

Nah, theists who dictate what Atheism should be because they think they know Atheism better than Atheists top the worst chart

The sad and untrue belief atheism is above criticism

Criticism of atheism - Wikipedia

Atheism : disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.

Nothing more, nothing less.

All you need to do is prove a god, any god exists and you will decimate atheism at a stroke. Never happened in around 10,000 years of god worship, i dont expect any changes to that record in the near future. But feel free...
