Why yes, I believe I have mentioned that he is made of win. Also? He continues to be made of further win.
RICHARD DAWKINS, the atheist campaigner, is planning a legal ambush to have the Pope arrested during his state visit to Britain “for crimes against humanity”.

Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, the atheist author, have asked human rights lawyers to produce a case for charging Pope Benedict XVI over his alleged cover-up of sexual abuse in the Catholic church.

The pair believe they can exploit the same legal principle used to arrest Augusto Pinochet, the late Chilean dictator, when he visited Britain in 1998.

I think I'd like Dawkins better if he didn't seem to contemptuously lump all religious people into the same credulous, foolish, small-minded mass.

Same here.

That said, I'm with Dawkins on this one.

Oh, indeed. I am getting so sick of the victim-blaming the Church has been doing, trying to say that the existence of sex education and pornography makes it so hard for priests to resist the temptation of MOLESTING CHILDREN. Oy vey.

    I did NOT say "I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI" or anything so personally grandiloquent. You have to remember that The Sunday Times is a Murdoch newspaper, and that all newspapers follow the odd custom of entrusting headlines to a sub-editor, not the author of the article itself.
