1. Do stop behaving as if you are God, Professor Dawkins

Having read through a number of the responses to McGrath's article I am shocked at the sad state of critical thinking displayed by most of the participants. Most of the opinions expressed are emotive unsubstantiated comments that have missed the point of the argument. No wonder atheists are being accused of being more fundamentalist than the most fundamentalist religious nut around. These contributors either did not understand McGrath's article or have taken the fundamentalist view of "I have made up my mind do not confuse me with the arguments!"

One comment I find particularly puerile is the one that says " "Second, I discovered Christianity actually worked: it brought purpose and dignity to life." Of course it brought 'purpose' for you: getting paid for studying fairyology."

The easiest response to this statement is to point out the number of "Please donate" links there are on this and the RDF websites. Is atheism becoming big business I ask?
