Love the book. I have read most of it, nearly finished. In my humble opinion I believe Dawkins is a treasure.

Can we clone Professor Dawkins (with all his intelligence, charisma, drive and talent intact)? We desperately need more like him - teaching at every school, starting in kindergarten and continuing through college. Please, please, pleasepleaseplease!
His books, starting with The Selfish Gene and the Blind Watchmaker way back in the 80s, were what really educated me about the power of natural selection. They nurtured my scientific interests, cemented my doubts about creationism and ultimately led to my becoming the educated atheist I am today.
If I had the money I would buy thousands of copies of this book and distribute it to schools everywhere.

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.
I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).
THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…

Death of a family member

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…
