The Dawkins Delusion

[niftydrifty]

"Does Richard Dawkins exist? Many people would say yes. Terry Tommyrot thinks otherwise. In a revealing interview on "The Big Questions", Dr. Tommyrot explains how belief in Richard Dawkins is, in fact, a harmful delusion, and how it can be explained scientifically."

Excerpt:

Interviewer: Dr. Tommyrot, you have described this widespread belief in Richard Dawkins as a "dangerous delusion." But what is especially dangerous about people believing in the existence of Richard Dawkins if it makes them happy?

Dr. Tommyrot: Well, for one fairly obvious reason: these people believe any book which has Dawkins' name on the cover, and these books say a lot of very silly things. Belief in Dawkins has been responsible for filling the internet with nonsequiturs, caricatures, strawmen, and vitriol. Dawkins' disciples are militant, they are organized, and they are out to convert you and me. Yes, I would certainly call this a dangerous delusion.

You do know that the video is satire, and that there is no Dr. Tommyrot right?

so nice of you to respond, Lachean, ol' buddy. it was obviously placed in the "off topic forums" / "on the lighter side" purposely. what I realize is clear. what you haven't is on display. btw, the clip is hilarious, ain't it?

(feel free to respond with a diatribe outlining why you believe Dawkins is so brilliant, or about anything, for that matter, other than the posted link content.)
