Is Richard Dawkins an Intolerant Bigot?
For obvious reasons, I always think of this Don Addis cartoon when I hear Richard Dawkins referred to as intolerant.
Kevin Myers speaks truth to this bullshit in his recent article Myth of Dawkins as an intolerant, atheist crusader is just that — myth in which correctly notes that “The popular meme of Dawkins The Bigot is the creation of the Christian Creationist Right, who loathe him for the power of his advocacy of the idea that Darwinian natural selection is the sole creator of our living world.”
