Oh my, I cannot believe this thread is still going...

I probably won't have much time to devote to it starting in september so it probably will finish then.

Also I might one day articulate my position in book form so this could be a useful debate for me.

Oh my. Richard Dawkins II?

More like if Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens had a baby as Dawkins tends to emphasize the science/rational side and Hitchens tends to emphasize the moral side of the debate though I am neither as intelligent as Dawkins nor as erudite as Hitchens.

I also don't I share the strong hatred of religions that Hitchens has as my viewpoint tends to be more detached emotionally when considering them as a whole. I would rather get emotional over specific human beings, like for example when Dawkins related his story about one of his professors being wrong about the Golgi apparatus for 15 years and thanking the visiting lecturer that proved him wrong in a presentation it tends to make my eyes water with emotion, not quite tears but not far (a short retelling is in the first paragraph here).

It's also doubtful that it will ever go any further than thinking about it.
