Looking at Dawkins description of God, I see a excellent description of Trump, so maybe his cultists have a accurate reason to worship him. And that proves why Religion is dangerous.
Very disappointed Dawkins has drunk the rightwing propaganda koolaid. It doesn’t surprise me since I noticed that he’d bought into the Rowling antitrans rhetoric as well
So depressing Richard has descended to the point where he's pretty much down to posting crass Trumper like memes. Chicks don't have dicks type crap. Interestingly it got way less simplistic for him when he declared the Olympic boxer to be unquestionably a man even though that person was born with a vagina. Why the blah blah blah it's complex and not a crude meme about how men don't have vagina's? For the record I may very well be opposed to people who have gone through puberty getting blasted with testosterone competing as women just wish Richard could have stuck to the scientific approach that he WAS so good at and steered clear of the victimhood trap.
Free Inquiry published a speech of Dawkins a few months back. I think it may have been a commencement speech (I didn't keep the magazine so take my memory with a grain of salt). Anywho, it was a great speech EXCEPT he went off on a tangent and started insulting trans women, especially trans women who want to participate in sports. This galled me enough to write a letter-to-the-editor, with the main point being that trans women deserve the right to participate in sports, and sports will have to adjust to that. Dawkins totally straw-manned me, claiming that I was being misogynistic for putting this terrible burden on (cis)women athletes. WTAF???? I said SPORTS has to adapt. The institution of Sports. So he is seeing what he wants to see. The filters are off and he's showing his true self.
Dawkins seemed to go off the rails when transgender people became accepted in society. He doesn't want to seem to acknowledge the science that which he draws his work from.
I'm not sure that Americans understand Dawkins. He is a child of privilege, his father was an Anglican minister – the Tory party at prayer as they say. He's never had to struggle for anything, went to a cozy elite university and probably never even mixed with ordinary working-class people in his entire life. And outside his areas of expertise, he seems remarkably ignorant.
If Dawkins recognizes that Trump is an evil man, then surely he ought to recognize that the man who would spend enormous wealth and effort to elect the evil man, is also an evil man.
While Dawkins seems to have retained some of the ideas from his youth, and can still communicate with eloquence, I do think his age, 83, combined with extremely poor judgement that was not evident in the past, could indicate a cognitive impairment.

Oh and thank you for the list of what Elon has been up to as I seldom go on X now and was thinking I will delete my account there.

wow! disappointing...
You’ve misunderstood what a cultural Christian means
That was a factual representation of Elon Musk you appropriately provided in response to Richard Dawkins.
