Re: [asa] Quote of the Day re: Dawkins

Well, in terms of lining up the facts, let me state
that this will be my last post of the day. It is my
fourth post, which exceeds the posting limit set by
ASA.

Pim, has just posted his tenth post today. So I assume
his accusation of my apparently false logic will also
be his last post of the day. Yes folks, he COULD just
answer 'No, I haven't read either of the books by
McGrath on Dawkins.' But instead, not a straight
answer is to be found, but rather running away from
others' criticisms of Dawkins by defending what
'Dawkins REALLY argues.'

Others on this list have said they don't think they
are misreading Dawkins, but the buck (in his opinion)
stops with Pim. I am fed up with this type of
crap/spam at ASA!
