    Hello Horse,

    I like to read Dawkins too, whenever I feel like
    getting really pissed off. He had one good idea in his
    life - memes, but the rest is just the usual holy
    grale bullsh*t. Even that is wearing thin. He gets his
    ya-yas out by arguing with people of faith. He's
    really not worth your time. Just my opinion, though,
    you can do what you like.
