Some more contemporary Dawkins
Found this the other day - his documentary called 'the enemies of reason'. (Is it just me or are his titles becoming more and more antagonistic?)
It's very good though - make sure you watch all of the parts.

It's kind of sad really
the more time goes by, the more he exhibits the exact same behaviours that he decries.

I know what you're saying,
but don't agree entirely.
I think it's quite hard to argue a case against it without sounding slightly vitriolic in the process.
He does always justify his argument with reason and evidence though, and readily accepts that what he understands through science is open to change.
The sad truth is, is that you need 'fundies' at either end of the scale to pull the middle ground one way or the other.

Personally I think the middle ground should stay in the middle
I mean, loud opinionated people are always more interesting to listen to (which is why they get so much attention), but I'd really prefer it if people didn't take things so seriously.
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind and all that.

I think Dawkins is at times rude and dismissive, but he is never dogmatic.
