Let's see how Dawkins stacks up...
1) Given that Dawkins hasn't been able to explain why we are here, yup -- he passes this test of a religion.
2) I assume that Dawkings believes that death is the end.
3) Listening to Dawkins, I doubt that he believes that he has any guilt, nor has
ever done anything the would require forgiveness.
4) The group is called Athiests
5) Dawkins has this in SPADES!!!!
6) I don't know if Dawkins knows what love is since it can not be seen, touched or proven in any physical fashion.
7) Obviously Dawkins is
THE MAN when it comes to moral authority.
8) Dawkins has also demonstrated this repeatedl
9) Aww come on, is there
any question that Dawkins feels the need to be right.
Yup, Dawkins is preaching a religion! It's the religion of Dawkins where's he's going to save the world.
(But by the way, he's not even big enough or gracious enough acknowledge a good person when he see one.)
