i'm no expert on science and will take it on faith that dawkins is one
of the great biological scientific minds in the world. but, outside
science, this guy says some really dumb things. if chomsky should
stick to linguistics, dawkins should stick to science. at any rate,
please stay away from arts and culture.

in Foreign Policy, the shupid fool shares one of his epiphanies with
us. he says 'if bach had been brought up in an atheistic culture, he
might have produced oratorios just as sublime, but inspired by the
universe by the galaxy, by plate tectonics.'
what a dumbass. for starters, bach WAS inspired by the stuff dawkins
mentions--okay, not plate tectonics since that theory came much later.
at any rate, bach's religiosity was inseparable from his sense of
wonderment of nature, moon, stars, and such stuff. he gazed at sky
filled with countless stars. baroque and classical composers were
closer to the natural state and rhythms of the universe. religious or
not, they were in wonderment of the beauty of the world all around
them.

but more importantly, dawkin's epiphany shows that he's such a radical
self-centered and self-righteous shitter that he can't give religion
ANY credit for anything. so, why was bach a great composer?...

Dawkins has no relevance to Bach. The latter was a composer who had to
earn a living. The best opportunity was in the Church.

As someone once put it in a blog post:

THAT FOOL DAWKINS

Rational debate about the existence/ non-existence of God, and the ethical
implications thereof, is good. It belongs to human dignity to seek to discern
what is true.

If people where as diligent with their spirituality as Dawkins is with
his scepticism, there would be a lot less believers, and many more
people would be more confident in their own experiences.

Brian, Dawkins is no skeptic. He's a believer. I watched this set of
videos the other day:
