[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are Dawkin's own words, from his own website:

https://www.richarddawkins.net/2012/12/im-an-atheist-because/

It's entitled, "I’m An Atheist Because…"

I know you guys are trolling, but this really should end your idiocy and threadjacking.  On this topic, forever.[/quote]

In your link, Dawkins is talking about OTHER people who identify as atheists. Not about himself. He reproduces OTHER people’s’ 346 statements about why THEY identify as atheists.

I find it very hard to understand how you can be so abusive to others in defense of your own flawed position. Honestly, you call others trolls and idiots and then you produce this irrelevant link?

Produce a link from Dawkins himself where he calls himself an atheist, and we’re all willing to listen to you. Until then, your abuse and ad hominems are no argument. [/quote]

OK.

at 1:04 he explains his scale and that a 6 is "de-facto atheist", which is what he is.  "Agnostic but with the same level of belief in god that I have in faries or unicorns".

He explains that this is because he cannot prove a negative.  No one can prove something doesn't exist, including gods.  An extension of Russel's Celestial Teapot concept.

Here's another:

"a de-facto atheist would be someone who lives their life as if there is no supernatural being, and that is certainly what I am".

This is a thoughtful, eruidite and nuanced position, so I guess it is understandable that you are having difficulty grasping it.  What you most misunderstand is the definition that Atheists use for Atheism, which means having no religious belief, and that certainly includes Richard Dawkins.
