1. Comment #85162 by The Wee Flea on November 5, 2007 at 7:45 am

Is this Groundhog Day? Does Josh keep publishing the same joke ot see if he can get a more intelligent reaction? Has the flea concept not been done to death?

Perhaps I can make the following points in response:

1) Why does this thread not include the whoe swate of books that have been published on the back of Dawkins that are atheist? You do realise that there is a phenomenon called the New Atheist Publishing/
2) Do you really think that people like yours truely are in this for the money?
3) Ricey - are you really so naive as to think that this thread indicates the open mindedness of this website. It is an attempt at mockery and an accusation that those who respond to Dawkins are only in it for the money. Unless this is the atheist definition of open-mindedness?! And by the way I would recommend to my congregation that they are acquaint with the better atheist works (Sam Harris, Bertrand Russel and Flew before he 'converted' - I have yet to see ANYONE on this site recommend that any of the 'flea' books should be read - after all why should you? Without reading them you know what they will contain and you know that they are wrong!).
4) "you'd think that if the apologetics had a valid response, one book would suffice". Bizarre and stupid. You would think that if the anti-theists had a valid response to Christianity then only one book would suffice.

The rest of the thread provides the lie to the boast that this is a 'clear thinking oasis'.

I guess Josh's response completely sums up the narrow mindedness of this site. Apparently I cause arguments. Forgive but I thought that is what debating was about? I see from the rest of the comments that others are struggling to understand what it means to be banned. Stop asking me questions - I'm afraid that I'm not allowed to answer them - or even to correct the more obvious mistakes such as Dr Benway's misspelling of my name.

Anyway continue to enjoy your self congratulatory love in. When you want some serious non sychophantic discussion feel free to unban me!

 avatarFlea- Behave yourself and maybe people will listen to you. I always find that when people are rude it really doesn't matter what they have to say. Just ignore them.

Where are you from Flea?
