Political Correctness Gone Mad

The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

Humpty
without repeating my previous post, as much as Dawkins' argument makes me an atheist, my side of the argument makes him a theist.
It couldn't possibly be said that in any way I believe "that there is no such thing as a god" (thus in Darwin's argument we all deny the existence of _some_ other god or gods in a way) and via my argument Dawkins holds some sort of belief system (his atheism is his "god", in the same loosely interpretative way).
But that's pretty much just semantics...
