		<description>Thanks for that Patrick. I agree that would have been a good resolution. I&#039;m really not copping out when I say I don&#039;t have time. This is Holy Week, which besides Christmas, is probably the busiest time of a year for a pastor.

Anyhow, I hope the articles I posted will be sufficient to explain why I and others find Dawkins&#039; attitude less than friendly. Maybe it&#039;s just &#039;cuz it&#039;s still early on a Saturday, but I&#039;ve noticed that things have gotten quieter over there all of a sudden. :)</description>

		<description>I used to call Walton a &quot;weenie.&quot;  He&#039;s never strayed far from earning that title again.  :)

Speaking of that &quot;other&quot; thread, Mike C, I posted an entry in my &lt;a href=&quot;http://patrickimo.blogspot.com/2007/04/nice-guy-atheist-responds.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; that has what I believe to be a successful (and positive) resolution to the beating you&#039;ve been taking.  The &quot;imaginary comment post&quot; I put there was not posted by me to the &quot;other thread&quot; because I thought everyone else would be smart enough to understand the simplicity of the solution.  Guess I was a real dope for thinking that, huh?  ;)

Meanwhile, we Atheists continue to earn the very labels we&#039;re fighting against.  Many theists are probably printing, framing, and hanging that entire thread on their walls...</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Oh, I just googled Frank Walton to see if that was a good blog.

Yuck. No thanks. He’s exactly what I’m trying to get away from.

He and the RRS can have each other. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Ugh, yeah, ditto that. I hadn&#039;t heard of Walton before, but he&#039;s like the Christian version of what I&#039;m complaining about on that &quot;other&quot; thread.</description>

		<description>Siamang:

Do also check out:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://sapientisatool.blogspot.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Sapient Is A Tool&lt;/a&gt;

These guys don&#039;t know &lt;em&gt;what&lt;/em&gt; to do with Sapient and his gang.  One minute they characterize him as useless and stupid, and the next they say he&#039;s some serious threat.  I believe that there is good potential to respond proactively to the nuttiness of the RRS, yet these guys just sit around calling him names, quoting bible verses, and &quot;praying.&quot;

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Walton may not be anywhere near the ideal of the christian practitioner, but anyone who considers the RRS a bunch of malfunctioning pinheads is A-OK in my book…&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;m glad I&#039;m not the only atheist here who thinks that.</description>
