And I just found out I'm apparently both super gay and the Anti-Christ! I never knew! Thanks Mr. Fundie, now I can get on with my holy task of monkeye raping your children like gawd said I would/should! Without your vision, I would be lost.

noimssaid:

Wow. I just found out that I'm gay in, like, 10 different ways!

Dawkins is the worst spokesperson for pro-science/rational thought I've seen in my life. Guy is an offensive self-righteous asshole, and the educated/scientific community can do far better in finding someone to represent the benefits of education and/or anti-zealotry.

newtboysays...

For that we have NDT. Dawkins is for those times when an abrasive asshole is what's called for, and there are all too many of those times. He's not really a good 'spokesperson', but he's a great slobbering bulldog.

Dawkins can be a dick about some things ("mild rape", etc), but I've only ever seen him be courteous to his opponents even in the face of overwhelming stupidity. He's blunt, sure, but he's never rude.

I think if there was a well funded organisation that was dedicated to promoting complete and utter bullshit that was contrary to my life's work, I would probably have less patience with religious nutter than Dawkins.

Besides, we NEED an attack dog. Just because he does an unpleasant job doesn't mean the job doesn't need doing. He's responsible for raising the visibility of atheism globally and that can only be a good thing IMO.

He's not the best, for that reason, but he's pretty effective.

We need one of those Flash sound boards from this video (and the last one they referenced). Anyone remember those Arnold prank calls? These sound bites would top those for sure.

I loved those soundboards as a kid! I pranked a few close friends with great results but never got the gusto to call a food place or anything. I also remember whilst working as an assistant manager at a Domino's pizza one of the high school girl hires came to me because a customer was acting funny on the phone and when I took the call it was a pranker using a Jack Black soundboard, I called them our right away and they hung up. Now I wish I would have played along and become an infamous recording from that era!

A Dawkins soundboard would be flippin' amazing!
