Dawkins responds to OK Resolution

A politician in Oklahoma recently submitted a resolution seeking to condemn the state’s university for inviting Richard Dawkins to speak at the school. This is Dawkins’ response:

Who called dibs on “coward”?

Last Saturday I posted about Ray Comfort offering Richard Dawkins $10K to ‘debate’ him. Dawkins has since responded by saying that he would do it – if the banana king made a $100K donation to his foundation.

Comfort’s response to the counteroffer? Why to claim that Dawkins is a coward as well as an embarrassment to atheists.

Richard Dawkins told a news reporter that he will debate me for $100,000 per hour. He is afraid, and he thinks he’s safe because I won’t pay that much money for an hour of his time.

There’s an army of atheists hiding behind Mr. Dawkins waiting for him to feed me to the birds, and he is proving to be nothing but hot air.

What an embarrassment to the atheist community.

What a surprise, eh? I so didn’t see that coming at all. How about you?

Has the banana king tired of his throne?

Because the banana king wants to ‘debate’ none other than Richard Dawkins. He’s even offered Dawkins $10K to put up with him for a mere hour.

“I will donate $10,000 to him or give it to any children’s charity he names. All I ask is that he goes into a studio and gives me 20 minutes on why there is no God and why evolution is scientific.

Then I will give 20 minutes on how we can know God exists and why evolution is nothing more than an unsubstantiated and unscientific fairy tale for grownups. Then we both will have 10 minutes to respond.” (WND)

I’ve no doubt that Dawkins will not be participating in a ‘debate’ with the banana king. The banana king seems to know this as he pretty much called Dawkins a coward in the article.

Of course, the banana king merely wants to promote himself as the Christian equivalent of Richard Dawkins and has no true interest in debating Dawkins.

Recall that the banana king’s number one argument for the existence of his god is “The bible says it. I believe it. That settles it.” It’s impossible to debate that. It’s also impossible to debate someone who has referred to evolution as a god.

So, what’s the banana king’s real goal? I think Paul Fidalgo is right. Comfort merely wants to gain some sort of legitimacy be merely appearing alongside Dawkins.

Richard Dawkins’ hate mail

Found this video over at The Good Atheist and thought I’d share it:

The best one has to be the one where the sweet little Christian hopes Dawkin’s gets hit by a church van and dies slowly. Such a sweetheart, eh?

Richard Dawkins’ Memorial

Just when you think Christians can’t get any weirder, they do. A group called “Preaching your Funeral” recently held a ‘funeral’ for Richard Dawkins wherein they burned an effigie of him:

Keep in mind that the so-called edumacated theologists insist that fear, hell and all that silly shit is not what people actually believe.

Richard Dawkins answers questions

Karen — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:43:21 +0000

The following video is an excerpt of a talk Professor Dawkins gave a Macon’s last year. A young woman asks him that time worn question of “what if you’re wrong” and his response is priceless:

The text as I heard it:

Well, what if I’m wrong? I mean, anybody could be wrong. We could all be wrong about the Flying Spaghetti Monster and the pink unicorn and the flying teapot. You happen to have been brought up, I presume, in a Christian faith. You know what it’s like not to believe in a particular faith because you’re not a Muslim.

You’re not a Hindu. Why aren’t you a Hindu? Because you happen to have been brought up in America, not India. If you were brought up in India, you’d be a Hindu.

If you were brought up in Denmark during the time of the Vikings, you would’ve believed in Woton and Thor.

If you were brought up in classical Greece, you’d believed in Zeus.

If you’d been brought up in Central Africa, you’d be believing in the great JuJu up the mountain.

There is no particular reason to pick on [think he meant single out]the Judeo-Christian god which in the sheerest accident you happened to have been brought up under and ask me to question ‘what if I’m wrong’.

What if you’re wrong about the great JuJu at the bottom of the sea?

Time Magazine is having their annual â€œ100 Most Influential Peopleâ€ contest. Richard Dawkins is currently number 7 on the list, up from number 10. I encourage you to go vote for him as despite whatever you may dislike about him, heâ€™s made atheism a household word over the past year or so.
