Richard Dawkins reads "The Greatest 'Ho!' on Earth": Ch 1/28

[TheISITBIBLICAL]

You missed the point. Dawkins only writes what sells, if stories about the Easter Bunny made money he'd be the first one out with a book on it. In other words, he is not writing to inform. Rather, he only writes to entertain. Ask him, he'll tell you the same thing -

[TheISITBIBLICAL]

Every theist would agree, “there never was, and there never will be a Santa Claus.” Why? Maybe because its a children's story. And only children belive in Santa. Oh yeah, and one other guy, publishing millionaire Richard Dawkins. Have you ever wondered what subject he would write about if people stop reading his atheist books? I attended one of his lectures; brilliant guy, but a bit of a narcissistic opportunist. There are much better "God does not exist" authors out there. Cool video.

@TheISITBIBLICAL

Children believe in Santa because it's what their parents tell them is a fact. Any other religion works exactly the same.

As for "what would he write about" - he's already written several books about evolution and genes, his main subjects. His one book on religion was a rare treat!

i am not comenting dis vid but how do u no my son is way too young to see kick ass who are u

[jazzx251]

@sjclemmy

Who are you?

Your spelling suggests that you are the son and not the father at all.

Pay attention in school and it won't be so obvious next time.

WOW! This is good on many levels.

[jazzx251]

Thanks!

Next Christmas, it's Chapter 16.

"Mince Pies? What Mince Pies?"

It's about the Santanists' claim that science has not yet explained disappearing mince pies and sherry on Xmas eve- so it MUST be Santa Claus!

Using the analogy of a detective coming onto the scene of a theft, he carefully debunks the nonsense and presents extensive scientific studies into this phenomenon which shed new light on one of Christmas's greatest mysteries.

I plead guilty to having a filthy mind. I thought this was the greatest "hoe" on Earth too. xD

Oh, how far from innocent childhood I have come! Santa never crossed my mind when I read "ho"...

[jazzx251]

Dirty mind!

Maybe you should read the ending:

"There may be no Santa Claus, no toy factory and no reindeer; but it is through our actions that we have reduced him, and his 'Ho! Ho! Ho!', to the dustbin of mythology.

Indeed, it is we who, once in every planetary orbit of our sun, deliver the only presents in town; it is we, with our ordinary generosity who shout the Greatest 'Ho!' on Earth."

@jazzx251

Of course...I know it's about Santa Claus NOW, but I clicked on this video in hopes of finding the greatest HOE on Earth. xD

Nevertheless, it was funny. :)

[jazzx251]

hmmm - greatest "hoe"??

I know Dawkins calls a spade a spade, but that's taking it too far!

[8DX]

Oh I thought this was Dawkin's book, the greatest H-O-E on Earth.. silly me, must've had too much turkey and too little sex.

Nice vid I liked the book titles!

[jazzx251]

Thanks - I have chapters 16 ("Mince Pies? What Mince Pies?" & 28 ("The Only Presents in Town") ready to add visuals to.

I'll have them ready by next Christmas ...

Claus wants to love you...but to loved by Claus you must first repent and accept Raptor Jesus as your saviour

[jazzx251]

Oh dear - not a 25th Day Adventist.

Did you even watch the video?

[gottspieler]

apparently you havn't seen your own video or you'd understand why the comment you made makes no sense...

[jazzx251]

Thankyou Richard for making us all realise that Christmas doesn't need a Santa Claus to be a happy one..
