I was commenting on you and your views specifically, I did not comment on theism in general. There is no single atheistic world view and I certainly didn't characterise one. I also did not make any specific comment on Professor Richard Dawkins as a person but rather commented on his work which is, as you must know by now, world renowned within the scientific community. I have also read/studied his work which has helped me form my opinions. You should maybe give that approach a shot.
Again, in my original comment I expressed what I have heard. I have listened to enough of him to form an opinion about his logic. I am not quite sure if your last line was taking a shot at me, but for now I will assume not.

I believe you seek to turn this forum into an "us and them" back and forth between believers and non-believers leaving it devoid of any meaningful debate.
I am sorry that you feel that way. That is not my intention at all. I relate much better with most atheists then I do most christians. In my world there is no "us and them". There are only individuals.

You should win some sort of irony award for the most revealing and truly baffling attempt at addressing my comments on your stubborn and arrogant approach to discussions within these forums, and I quote:
I believe that you are reading way to into these comments. There are many people on this site that do not like me because I do not agree with them. They feel that all logic that is not in agreement with theirs is flawed. I am used to that by now. If I let it bother me I would not be able to post here. You have not pointed out any flaws in my logic but resorted mostly to ad hominems, so to me you come off as the above mentioned people. That is why I said what I said.

The only charaterisation that has taken place in this thread is demonstrated above as you attempt to marginalise me as some kind of "dawkins bum boy". You claim to know everything you need to know about me. This is an arrogant and rude way to treat anybody and is a standard line to take if your an ignoramus who charges head first into threads with no intention of meaningful or respectful debate.
I think that you need to reread your own posts and think about if you really feel that the language used what not characterizing. If you like I will re-post them in the morning and highlight what I feel is fairly obvious characterization.

I must state that my opinions on you are restricted to the realms of this forum and are not a personal attack on your character as such or you as a human being. I do not know everything I need to about you but rather have felt the need to address your approach to posting in this forum as well as your views expressed within these confines.
I feel that you are looking at a very limited amount of my posts if that is the impression that you get. But with that said, you come off in the very limited posts that I have read pretty much what you are accusing me of except from an atheistic standpoint.
