In response to someone on Reddit asking Richard Dawkins if he could do a dramatic reading of some of the hatemail he gets:
Three words from God to you: "Dear atheist, God says: you are a fool!" ;D

That was hilarious. I wonder how many of the hate-mailers actually read any book by Dawkins. I'm guessing a grand total of absolute ZERO.

Dawkins' accent is sexy.

He sounds like C-3PO.

Currently reading The World According to Garp. It was written in the early 70's, and there was a little section on hatemail correspondence - back when the whole thing had to be done by hand and have a stamp stuck on it. Weird concept really. Hi I'm a complete stranger you've never heard of. I've done nothing at all ever of note, nor will I, but I am the most important person in my world, and now you've entered my conscious awareness, I would like to inform you that you suck! It's not even - you annoyed me, or I think that there's a point you missed, or here's some constructive criticism, it's just - whargarblbleurgh you suck! It's like road rage, but you infringed on their lane in their tunnel [vision], by daring to exist.
I keep on forgetting how dreadfully primitive (and primative) we still are as a species.

Man, I'm glad someone else thinks so.

Man, I'm glad someone else thinks so. Not to derail the thread here, but C-3PO's actor was a old guy from the UK, so that might have something to do with it. Funny hate mail though none the less.

A piquant look into the mind of a fundy.

It's interesting how advancing technology -- as in, the internet -- only makes our own primitiveness all the more apparent. Weird juxtaposition.

Dawkins would have been a young guy when the first Star Wars was made. I wonder if he sounded like C-3PO then.

Yeah, I don't think highly of him, but at least I've read his books. I was disappointed w/ The God Delusion. But not so much that I would send an E-mail to Dawkins threatening him with eternal torture.

I wonder if he sounded like C-3PO then. The guy who plays C-3PO was a young guy at the time the first Star Wars was made too. In fact, he's 5 years younger than Dawkins.
