Off topic but worth saying
Then there's this beauty by Richard Dawkins:
"ANyone who does not believe in evolution is either ignorant, stupid, insane or wicked."
You could at least get the quote right. In full it is (quoted from an article by Dawkins himself in Free Inquiry magazine, Volume 21, Number 3):
"It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that)."
In the article Dawkins talks about what he meant and why he said it.
You should read it.
If you want to talk about it more start a new thread and I'll be happy to join you there - we are so far off topic at the moment we are bound to get thumped by a mod soon!
Edit: Oh I see one did while I was writing this...
