Dawkins doesn't have the mental agility for the faith experience. Fine. No one expects him to. But he has plenty of time for a scientist's mental masturbation. It's funny too that such a great rationalist hasn't noticed that religious folk are the ones caring for the poor and defending the oppressed, while rationalists sit on their self satisfied asses.
Ah yes, yet another omniscient statement of fact from fans of omniscience. There's never been a charity on earth that wasn't run by "religious folk," has there? Nobody but god-fearing "folk" go into medicine, or social services, or legal aid, or Doctors Without Borders, or Greenpeace, or AIDS Project Los Angeles, or so many other self-satisfied asses.
Isn't that right?
