Skeptics

Clever bloke, and I enjoyed all of his books that I have read, but Richard Dawkins has a lot to answer for. I mean, they may have a point about the whole God not existing thing, but I have been thinking for a while that some of the soi–disant “skeptics” movement really are a bunch of very annoyingly superior smart–arses, as many of the comments on this article about the BBC declining to allow atheists on Thought For the Day demonstrate. From the other side, the comment with which I found myself the most in sympathy was that stating:

“If atheists are so convinced they’ve got it right, why are they so obsessed with hijacking the expressions of other people’s beliefs?
So you’re an atheist. Good for you! Now get over it, and go away.”

Quite right. Leave Rabbi Lionel Blue alone! It’s, like, three minutes a day, man.
