It would explain a lot if turned out that they didn't.PrickliestPearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07606660660913560540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29128991.post-24266890572139854282009-07-23T06:33:28.100-07:002009-07-23T06:33:28.100-07:00I like some of what I've read from Dawkins, bu...I like some of what I've read from Dawkins, but his knee jerk reactions are just as bad as those of fundamentalist Christians who say Harry Potter leads children to witchcraft.<br /><br />If we threw out religion because there are some bad apples, then we would have to throw out everything.
