This is a question Books

We love books. Tell us about your favourite books and authors, and why they are so good. And while you're at it - having dined out for years on the time I threw Dan Brown out of a train window - tell us who to avoid.

Since I've already lost the argument, you won't read anything beyond this line,
but I'm not convinced that any real progress will be achieved by a privileged white Englishman who insists on fighting fire with fire.

And people's behaviour is important. Do you think Martin Luther King would now be remembered for his constructive contribution to the civil rights movement if he'd gone around throwing wobblers and being completely unable to hold a civil conversation with anyone who held views that conflicted with his own?

Link to Dawkins "throwing wobblers" please?
Link to Dawkins being "completely unable to have a civil conversation with anyone who held views that conflicted with his own"?

For example, I watched this new video on youtube this morning:

Just because you've got a video of Dawkins
not throwing a wobbler, doesn't mean he never does it. Only a person of blind faith could make such an assertion.
Which is why my cult will always be at war with your kind, as our holy book has fortold of a day when he will throw a massive wobbler. Then, and only then, can peace be brought unto the earth.
