Probably one of the reasons why Christmas was so quiet this year, as it has been for quite a few.
I'm not Christian and I'm not religious. However, it angers me that Christian and even Pagan traditions in Britain are being ignored and stepped on by both non-Christians and those who are afraid of offending non-Christians. This reduction in the number of Christians in Britain is a huge contributing factor to Britain's dying heritage.
The younger generation of Christians - at least all those that I have known during 10 years in Christian schooling - are incredibly tolerant and embracing of other beliefs, faiths and religions. They also have strong values and principles of their own and help their local communities (as do non-Christians). These are amazing Christians to have in your environment. I would most definitely prefer having these Christians around me than individuals like the famous atheist Richard Dawkins who seems intolerant of religion and yet cannot prove that God doesn't exist.

Dawkins lives up to the adage that a pig is still a pig with a load of lipstick on. Education does not help sell idiocy away. Dick is one of the most leading examples As Sarko would arrogantly say, "Imbecile!".

No one besides yourself believes you are smarter than Dawkins, or that Dawkins isn't bright.
You're attack isn't successful because it isn't credible.
When you pick on the cult leader, the cult followers rise up in arms.

Who's next? And I wonder if anyone wants to deny that over the years, ole Ritchie just built his cult and has a loyal following, 85% of whom are clueless about the subject at hand. Science and biology left the building long ago. I'm fine I guess as long as Dawkins doesn't incite his cultists to start attacking theists. It's a crazy world we live in

Don't get upset Tony, everything is gonna be fine. But you're now included as one of the under-educated masses who is suspicious of science. This week it's evolution you're attacking, next week you can tell us your theories on crop-circles. Maybe you can show us how to divine water with a bent stick?(Is your evolution adviser is the same source that was telling you Muslims will have reversed colonized Britain in the next decade?)
But you're right. despite the fact that's I've never read a book by Dawkins, never heard him speak, and only have a brief understanding of his background, he is my cult leader. But at least our cult doesn't require us to cut the skin off our children's penis, which is more than I can say for yours.
In general, they're fine. But there's a bunch of them that try to ruin everything for the rest of us (and manage to besmirch the reputation of all christians in the process)
But that is not exclusive of Christians. That is true for people in general; in any large group, there are some that are fine and there are some that try to ruin everything for others. But true Christians don't do that.

Since that type seems to be more prevalent in the USA than anywhere else, I am glad to see that enlightenment is slowly advancing, and that religious beliefs are decreasing. It can only improve things in the world to have fewer people that rely on false beliefs.
False beliefs? Who says they are false? And who decides that?
