You Don't Know Dick

If for some reason you have ever taken either Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens seriously, then see here.

    Actually, the real question is whether we should take the Sunday Times seriously, since Dawkins has rubbished the story.

    Furthermore, he rubbished it on his own website, ten hours before you decided to recycle the story - which suggests that your own research skills aren't that hot either.

    Naturally, I'll bear this episode in mind next time you're minded to accuse others of lazily recycling canards against the Pope.

    He has only rubbished the headline. I am talking about the whole article.

    Having just read Dawkins' article, it seems that 'rubbished the story' is, shall we just say, somewhat inaccurate. He says he didn't say he personally would arrest the pope; he also says he enthusiastically supported the idea when he first heard about it.

    The funniest bit in his article, though, is surely the first sentence: "Needless to say, I did NOT say "I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI" or anything so personally grandiloquent". What, Dawkins, personally grandiloquent? What on earth would make anyone suspect that?

    Except, possibly, pretty well everything else he does: his manifest and various delusions clearly extend to his view of his own nature.

    And don't these "Arrest The Pope" attention-seekers realise that the Pope will be surrounded by, er, the Police?

    Clearly not.

    David (Lindsay), do you agree that the deluded should be discouraged from making comments in public?

    Oh, yes. That was why I never approved of Tony Blair.
