Sacateca,
How goes it? It is very relevant to me as the camera pans around the audience during Michael Shermer's presentation (for lack of a better word) to see Richard Dawkins perhaps nodding his head in total agreement with Shermer maybe even looking to for better ways to fight the hoards of misguided fanatics and believers with, no doubt, his mind already made up before he sat down. My mind settles on the (Hi) story of great book burnings, inquisition and witch trials, shudder. Dawkins as well as writing the God delusion actually wanders the globe in search of religious men, spiritualists, thinkers in order to, no doubt, reveal them all for the misguided charlatans they truly are so it was only right to me to despise him, to wish him to fail, to wish for him to able to see things the way I do. Oops! Iv'e been here before, why can't you just see things my way Dawkins?!?!?! But you don't and I need to be ok with that. The fact is like you said Sacateca Jesus was reportedly and I likewise am totally against this Religious hypocrisy which protects child molesters, wages war under the banner of God and supports hate and division of the human race and I start to wonder Is Dawkins doing us all a favor? Is he a holy man in disguise, is he fighting with same disgust as Jesus and I against the manipulation and misdeeds of organized religion? Do I have so little faith in what I know that Dawkins would ever be able to unmask me as a fraud? Would he not see in the end by default that he was only half right? That after doing away with everything unnecessary all that would be left is the truth!
The story goes that the old Toltec seers, suddenly in mortal danger from their new oppressors learned a great deal from having to adapt and that those who did not learn to change were eliminated but what did they learn? perhaps they learned to accept their oppressors for what they were and to see them as a challenge. Can I love Dawkins even though we disagree? If i cannot do ought but despise him then why should he not want to crush me and my hypocritical beliefs? Food for thought I hope : )
