[Platt]
Dawkins and his fans are as rooted in dogma as were the priests of the 
Inquisition.

[Krimel]
So the answer is yes, this is a joke. Such wisdom from our in-house master
of creative and original thought.

Christ, I think I just threw out my back laughing at that...

[Mark]
Krimel your laughing is the first sign of your unease with your illusion.  
It may be that you are so deep in your belief that you do not see it 
for what it is, as Platt correctly points out.  The louder you laugh 
the less you can hear.  Why are you afraid to listen?  Must be that 
unease creeping in...  When in doubt, deny, deny, deny.

[Krimel]
I used to agree with the idea that when someone in a discussion brings up
Hitler, they are showing how impoverished their position is. To that, I
would like to add, that when someone starts to psychoanalyze your position,
they have really given up.
