I was simply answering your question "so, what?" by presenting a potential consequence of Dawkins being full of shit in that instance. I was also suggesting that Spawnie could have been making the...
Yes, I've actually read The God Delusion. It's not the book I'm objecting to, specifically.
Perhaps one point to be made is that when figures like Dawkins or Hitchens hurl invective after invective, frame the question in terms of black-or-white and compare people who disagree with them to...
are those fucking biomechatronic nazis
Where'd you find that picture, Norton? Did it come from a collection?
Interesting piece of music, fairly "out there" - Frusciante said in an interview IIRC that he wrote this album to be played "at maximum volume in your living room in the middle of the night."...

Norton, is that the Santa Monica pier?
Drank (alot) on an empty stomach :\
I can't remember specifically what, but he said one thing in particular, to another member, that I found really, really awful. I don't even think it was me (or you). Combined with the general...
Maybe this has already been posted, but here's one of my favorite collections. It is that of the Russian photographer Prokudin-Gorskii, who, after pioneering color photography technology, traveled...
Beautiful fucking day. 82 F and breezy, with scattered, big, puffy clouds
That reminds me of this passage. I'll just quote it, since Nietzsche obviously said it better than I could:
