[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe some of the people who’ve bought or read his book can chime in on what it’s like to follow him.

Has it affected your opinion of pedophilia?

This is groundbreaking and proves your point about atheisms sexual misconduct problem. Incredible work. Simply incredible. You are truly playing 4d chess. You quoted something for someone who doesn’t control anyone, and they said a things and now all atheists are pedophiles and you win the thread.[/quote]

I was referring to people who’ve bought/read his book - his followers.

On DCUM his followers are all believers from what people have posted.

Nice. You keep trying to find ridiculous ways to claim that none of Dawkins’ 3.3 million readers is influenced by what he writes. Because…there are no atheist readers on DCUM…or, mumble, mumble…something.

I find it hard to imagine that somebody would rape a child based on what Dawkins said. According to an article from the Atlantic:

Referring to his early days at a boarding school in Salisbury, he recalled how one of the (unnamed) masters “pulled me on his knee and put his hand inside my shorts.”

“I am very conscious that you can’t condemn people of an earlier era by the standards of ours. Just as we don’t look back at the 18th and 19th centuries and condemn people for racism in the same way as we would condemn a modern person for racism, I look back a few decades to my childhood and see things like caning, like mild pedophilia, and can’t find it in me to condemn it by the same standards as I or anyone would today,” he said.

He said the most notorious cases of pedophilia involve rape and even murder and should not be bracketed with what he called “just mild touching up.”

It's completely sickening and innacurate but influential? To the extent that somebody would rape a child? I dunno I find that hard to believe. [/quote]

Dawkins gives permission to people who were already thinking about molesting a child. [/quote]

How do you figure? Do you have an example of people who take him as the moral authority on pedophilia the same way people take religious leaders as the moral authority on pedophilia?[/quote]
