It is only a metaphor --- a token of literary license. I think Dawkins in his wildest dreams could not imagine anyone being so stupid as to interpret the phrase literally: as an attribution of sentient agency to a string of molecules. This lack of realism about the intelligence of his fellow mammals is the only thing I can fault him for. My point is that Dawkins would certainly agree that genes can be understood at a technical level only in terms of their chemistry. He was trying for a metaphor.

Anyone who says Richard Dawkins is a fool, is a fool themselves. The guy is an Oxford Professor Biology and Evolutionary Biology. I'd like to see these fools get a Professorship from Oxford in ANY SUBJECT!!!!!

@backwoodsninja I agree. Besides, if Dawkins were gay, he would just admit it. Unlike Ted Haggard.

@PutridNature EVOLUTION, FUCK YEAH!!!

If you participated in the carnage in Afghanistan, Iraq, or any number of places around the planet, then you MUST be tried for murder, and publicly executed (by hanging) upon conviction. I will, if requested to, put the rope about your neck. American soldiers are nightly brutalizing, ravishing & ritualistically slaughtering Iraqi women & children in house-to-house sweeps. This is happening now, tonight, and every night.

@1971texas Your argument is a bit silly. Dawkins is not a homosexual. He's married and has children. Not much of a homosexual lifestyle there.

[1971texas]

read about VMAT2 and dopamine, VMAT2 is what he calls the god gene even though its not a gene. he is not a scientist he is an activist trying to justify his homosexual atheist lifestyle and make a buck at the same time off anyone incapable of doing research on his many non- peer review discredited theories

Dick Dawkins (et al) is a filthy, abominable, no-good, corrupt fool, who doesn't seek God or understand, but has gone aside.

Psa 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
