Gabe the Angel

The root of all Evil was shown on the BBC 9th Jan and was a brill show, I found out about how the story the Virgin Mary took off to heaven became introduced into the Catholic faith as fact! if only we could have more of the world of reason and less of the world of religion on TV the world would be a better place to live in, how the people who live in the Bible belt put up with the brainwashing I do not know. Richard was seen to be dismissed from the area of a church, they got worked up at being called animals, he then explained what they ment, his remark for evolution as being fact was taken as an insult to them! poor Thomas Pain must be turning in his grave.

Notice he brought about the golden mean fallacy, appeal to emotion, appeal to authority and appeal to ignorance in practically one breath. Then, after his ironic holier-than-thou speech on arrogance, he forces the crew off the premises. The American cum born again Islamofascist was just as disturbing, since Dawkins asked "You want non-Muslims off your land?" and the guy responds "Yes" and to which Dawkins continues "Would you want Islam to takeover the Earth?" and this guy happily states "Yes". So basically, he wants us to be in our separate corners, only his corner happens to be this third rock from the sun, so we are meant to go... where?

I guess this is where you derive the rationale for genocide.

I liked the comment about the freethinkers society hoping to move to Canada. I expect the second programme to go into standard Christianity and the variations elsewhere, since it will delve into Biblical literature (God being the most vindictive son of a bitch in fiction) and how the meme of religion gets passed on.
