# I don't get why Dawkins get's such a hard time
Not that we need a leader but as a high profile Atheist i think he does a good job of making believers question themselves and he is ok in debates but he suffers from being in the shadow of Hitchens 'The Hitchslap'

# Dawkin's sticks his head over the parapets so that make him an easy target I guess.
But every word he says is massively taken out of context and people rather than sit back and ponder what he has said they jump in and attack the Godless one! I'm not his biggest fan, I've never even read one of his books but I am pleased there is at least one public person out there standing up for atheists and against Religious dogmatism.

# In the grand old scheme of things Atheism/Science is new
As time passes it is inevitable that Science will overcome religious fairy tales it is just infuriating that in my lifetime i witness so many believe in so much without evidence.

# If athiesm is allowed, then it will happen
It's still a bit tricky though in parts of the world where you're a Muslim or you're dead.

# Funnily enough many Christians quite happily live and work in Muslim countries
there was an article about a man in Afghanistan who was Jewish living in a Taliban controlled area. He was never persecuted by them but they did often try to convert him. There is large movements of Atheists in Muslim parts of the world one such group is on Facebook their people could be jailed or even executed under blasphemy laws but they still exist and work against the dogmatism. So I don't think it's quite so black and white that in a Muslim country you're either Muslim or dead it is not an idea situation granted, one that I certainly wouldn't want to be in.

# That's encouraging to know
Sounds better than hearing a friend telling me that on some of the islands in the Philippines people cut your throat if you're not a Muslim. I hope it was an exaggeration.

# Could be true. I wouldn't doubt it the level of intolerance is staggering but there will always be extremists.

# yes but...
We are on the dawn of an information revolution and religion grows on ignorance so as more people get informed the nonsensical superstion's will die. And i hope Homeopathy and psychic mediums piss off too.

# I think most of his "act" is illusion he must research a lot to find out who's died in these places
or accounts of other people seeing ghosts there. So that he can pop up on television and "channel" the dead. (Channel5)

# I can't begin to imagine what it must be like to lose a child
But i find it even harder to understand the motivation to stand in front of someone and lie about getting a message from a dead son or daughter and asking them to hand over cash or buy a ticket. GRRRFUCKTHAT!

# Yeah I lost my husband recently (common-law husband but still my hubby)
I would never pay to have someone tell me lies about him looking down on me and such. If there is an afterlife I think he would have let me know by now but as far as I'm concerned he's still alive in my heart.

# Good for you
Everyone needs to mourn and find there own way of dealing with it but how can you move on if someone is telling you that your loved one is sat on a cloud watching everything you do?

# Indeed.
I couldn't believe that to be true, it's more a thing where the person mourning is somehow comforted by the thought that their lost loved one is somewhere happy and safe and no longer in pain.

I find Mediums and Psychics to be irritating and irrational and merely pandering to those people who are at their most vulnerable.
