What do you think he is up to now?
Darwin’s rottweiler”, Prof Richard Dawkins caused a furore with a stinging attack on religion. Now the evolutionary biologist has turned his wrath on “new age” alternative therapies, describing them as based on “irrational superstition”.
Prof Dawkins says that alternative remedies constitute little more than a “money-spinning, multi-million pound industry that impoverishes our culture and throws up new age gurus who exhort us to run away from reality”.
The 66-year-old scientist has investigated a range of gurus and therapists, including faith healers, psychic mediums, angel therapists, “aura photographers”, astrologers, Tarot card readers and water diviners, and concluded that Britain is gripped by “an epidemic of superstitious thinking”.
Dawkins would be a great ambassador for GOD if he left the Dark Side like Darth Vader..(Okay a little friday humor)http://www.religionnewsblog.com/18981/new-age-richard-dawkins

everyone is permitted to have their own opinion.
New Age medicine isn’t new and it isn’t medicine. it is complementary (it complements) traditional medicine. no one has to believe in it - but some people do. if it works for them, who cares?

Let’s see here… “including faith healers, psychic mediums, angel therapists, “aura photographers”, astrologers, Tarot card readers and water diviners”.
Dawkins is right - that’s all just irrational superstition. Why complain about him? He’s on the side of truth here.
Angel therapists?
ANGEL therapists?
Jesus f’n Christ, what a bunch of sorry losers.

You’re a barking zombie quoting “news” from some neo-nazi religious blog blather. However, most of what you have put up there is pretty close to realistic statements.
Your point is?

The same level of evidence proof and its just as all your gods surprise.
The same level of evidence proof and whatnot is on exactly the same level of evidence proof and faith healing and psychic powers and its just as much bunk as much bunk as much bunk as much bunk.
