You can pay for their upkeep and priviledged lifestyles...because many of us brits are sick of the parasites.

Down with Royalty!

Pro Republica!

Sorry about that Monta...but I, like many british people, can't stand the royal family and worse the sheeplike fawning of the sychophantic royalists that love them.

With an anti-blasphemy decreed could it not be considered illegal to speak out against rule by divine right?

Seems to me you are attacking the monarchy's divine right to rule. Or under a system with anti-blasphemy laws that is, quickly, what it could become. Freedom of expression is to important to compromise.

Perhaps its a transatlantic thing but I am not at all on your wavelength.

Are you saying that because I attack the religious implications with regards to the right of rule in the case of our monarchy and the monarchy system of government...which is (when not neutured like ours is) an elitist and essentially authoritarian (very non democratic) mode of government....I cannot attack Dawkins for persecuting religion in general?

I am just pointing out flaws in your notion that "religion should not be attacked".

"I cannot attack Dawkins for persecuting religion in general?"

Freedom of expression is a two way street. And I don't really care what you do; as long as it remains within the bounds of liberty for all.

Ok I am willing to concede ground there..

I will add to that statement for clarification.

Religion should not be attacked in the manner Dawkins advocates, for the sake of it...as he alludes to in the last comment I listed in the relevant post on this thread.

There...does that help?

All I am commenting on is that Dawkins has a Stalinesque view of religion...I am not actually comparing the two men directly.

Is it my tone that you guys find so disagreeable?

Except that Dawkins actually supports the idea of teaching the different world religions in public schools.

Such a Stalinist approach.

Hitler and Stalin leaders of non (anti) religious political movements murdered around 33 million people...men women and children...in their 'social' experiments.
Chairman Mao another leader of an atheist political movement killed 50 - 70 million people...

So lets put things in perspective here...lets not forget the evils of the secular whilst we are filing charges...

Godwined.

I don't usually throw that out there but given the length of this thread, the sheer stupidity the thread direction took and now bringing in Hitler, who was not a leader of a "non (anti) religious" political movement......this thread is dead.

Or in other words, nothing anybody states, especially if they took the time and properly critiqued your claims, is going to matter.

It's pointless.

Therefore, back to our regularly scheduled entertainment:

YouTube - OMG cat cannot unsee the horror

edit: I feel that face the OMG cat makes is the one I routinely make these days reading many of the threads.

Where does he say that?

How does that change all the other anti religious comments he makes?

LOL Utterly pathetic...

Why would I or anyone else care what you think about this thread?

Nothing you have stated is of any worth true...

I am not making Nazi analogies incidently...why would you say that?

I am saying the secular world is not innocent of spilt blood either.

You dont like that for some reason...you maybe feel religion is to blame for everything.

Yes that kind of laughably naive thinking is what I expect..but I will educate you I am sure...in time.

The thread is not dead...ignore the likes of Gnomon...and his pathetic video of a cat.

I have noticed that on this forum that the theists are rather friendly and polite while the atheists and non religious folk seem (lets throw some labels about) rude offensive childish ignorant hostile and disrespectful...so far...ah well...what goes around. (generalist I know but I am feeling a bit emotional)

Interesting as I am used to the reverse of that on another site....

But thats fine Gnomon...I will treat you as disdainfully as you treat me...and I will enjoy it.

Out of curiosity, what do you think should be done about Dawkins? Should there be legal consequenses or would a better option be to argue against him and try and counter his arguments?

If you have answered that before... Sorry, I was lazy and jumped a bit in the thread :p.

When I read concieted little empty posts like yours I just laugh.

Pontification and baseless personal opinion/assesment mean very little to me.

Bingo Kerr...thats exactly what I think...and shall do if anyone wishes to defend any of his 'assertions' on religion.

Excuse my vitriol, some of these 'guys' are (seem to me anyway) increasingly antagonistic to criticism of Dawkins...I find that odd.
