This is a question Inflated Self-Importance

Amorous Badger asks: Tell us tales of people who have a high opinion of themselves. Jumped-up officials, the mad old bloke who runs the Neighbourhood Watch like it's a military operation, Colonel Blimps, pompous bastards and people stuck up their own arse.

Richard Dawkins.

He's like some kind of militant fundamentalist atheist who's worser than relijus people.

(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 9:41, closed)
I wouldn't say he's worser.
But definitely as badder.

The starting premise is "If you believe in any god you are simple".

(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 9:57, closed)
Yes.
That sounds pretty self-important to me.
(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 9:59, closed)
It's true though

(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 10:00, closed)
Exactly. Self-important militant atheism.
'my god is bigger than your god' dragged up in a lab coat and waving a big science dildo.

Is it wrong that I'm turned on now?

(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 11:16, closed)
Depends - how much cash have you got?

(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 11:17, closed)
Shitloads. Honest.

(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 11:23, closed)
Then, no - it's not wrong, it's "alternative".

(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 11:29, closed)
Well, he DOES know better than every religious scholar that there's been in the last two thousand years
oh wait, sorry - that's Brian Cox I'm thinking of

I missed his declaration of infallibility
Campaigns against gay marriage and contraception

I don't think he's ever done that.
But it doesn't stop him self-importantly bloviating, though.

Which is equally as bad as sytematic discrimination against gays and women

(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 10:55, closed)
Yes, it is.

Nobody is saying it isn't, but Dawkins makes atheists look like intolerant smug wankers, and should just stick to science.
He isn't a good figurehead.
(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 13:03, closed)
This^
I agree with 99% of what he says, but the man's a cunt.

he's a cunt

(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 10:06, closed)
When he started that campaign
for atheists to call themselves 'brights' I nearly became a christian just to spite the cunt

Christopher Hitchins was the drinkingthinking mans atheist shame he died instead of Dawkins
(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 10:25, closed)
What was that?!
Christ what a cock.
(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 10:37, closed)
I remember that "Brights" nonsense. What a bunch of wankers.
Them, and the Humanists. It's a shame I don't believe in god, because watching that lot get chucked in a fiery pit would be endlessly amusing.
(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 13:54, closed)

I tend to tell that lot that I'm an ignostic, and watch them get all confused.
(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 15:28, closed)
The best thing about being an agnostic
is that you can brush all this god business to one side, and get on with life.
(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 19:17, closed)
Ignostic, not agnostic
It's waaaay more pretentious than that.
(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 19:23, closed)
Ugh.
I don't think I'll be converting anytime soon.
(, Wed 30 Jan 2013, 14:56, closed)
I've never really paid much attention to him, but I get the
impression he's just a troll, right?
(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 15:06, closed)
Easily the best pop science writer of the last forty years.
And he's married a Timelord. I'd say that gives him a slightly better than average right to be a pompous dick when talking down to witless theists.
(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 19:15, closed)
He's worse than streaky bacon and militant Islam, combined.

(, Tue 29 Jan 2013, 21:44, closed)
The more militant islamists who discover the joys of streaky bacon the better.

(, Wed 30 Jan 2013, 7:57, closed)
I'm putting out a fatwa on you, Doc.
My followers are legion, so you'd better watch it.
*shakes fist*
(, Wed 30 Jan 2013, 14:58, closed)
Talking down to witless theists isn't exactly challenging.
But Dawkins gives it like he's the messiah.
(, Wed 30 Jan 2013, 9:03, closed)
^^
When he's not belittling religious beliefs his writing is top notch "The Selfish gene" is amazing. It's just a shame he comes over such an arse in the "god delusion"
