<Why do you take pains to defend him when I criticize him?> I didn't and don't. I questioned (didn't disagree out of hand, asked for more info) a LOT of YOUR conclusions: 1.) That Dawkins (and atheism) represents "science". (update: how much of the scientific community is jumping on board with his lawsuit?) 2.) That Dawkins is "hateful"... (haven't heard back). 3.) That atheism is somehow some great travesty with nothing of worth to be questioned and discussed. 4.) That Dawkins atheist writings are some sort of "transgression" equal to a pedophile. And I guess I few others, I forget. <Maybe I should just call them WACKO WACKO like you.> That probably doesn't facilitate discourse or my understanding of your postitions for sure. I'll give you that. However, IMHO it's just not worth my time given your well documented communitcation pattern of not knowing what you're talking about YET PRETEND YOU DO. <Hmm, you converted in order to figure out what they were being taught so you could counter it if necessary.> In part, yep. Just dreadful to take a real interest isn't it? <I'm sure you did the right thing for your kids, but it must have been galling to send your children to such a school I suppose. > As I've said repeatedly to PopeGreg... virtually EVERY Catholic INCLUDING PRIESTS differ on various dogma/tradition of the Church. They meet every year to discuss all these things... celibacy, marriage, female priests, birth control.... I have no problem telling my kids those and indeed ALMOST EVERYTHING are simply traditions that some follow and some don't. Further: They embrace science, and aren't literalists. :)) <You could try considering I can be right about something instead of kneejerking going the WACKO WACKO route.> OK, fair enough.... as I"m sure you are, actually... but let's BOTH no "kneejerk"... especailly when we don't know a topic. :)) EX: you certainly know Dawkin's better than I. dAK
