a short monomaniacal monograph on the reasoning of richard dawkins
When asked if it was possible that he might be wrong in denying the existence of God, Richard Dawkins replied: "Well, what if I'm wrong, I mean, anybody could be wrong. We could all be wrong about the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the Pink Unicorn, and the Flying Teapot..."
Mr Dawkins postulates the existence of ridiculous religions in order to assert that all religions are ridiculous.
His reasoning is akin to saying that if there's one ridiculous scientific theory, then all scientific theories must be ridiculous.
It is the same as saying if there is one manifestly incorrect or mendacious or misguided scientist, then all scientists must be similarly manifestly incorrect, mendacious and misguided about everything,
His reasoning is the same as asserting that since there are people who can't cook food properly, and people who eat food that is bad for them, and people who eat food in such a way as to seriously damage their bodies, then we should all conclude that eating itself is ridiculous.
More.
Mr Dawkins reasoning in ridiculing the very idea of any concept or worship of God via the ridiculousness of relgions that Mr Dawkins has made up, amounts to suggesting that if people have bad or silly eating habits, then chefs do not exist, kitchens do not exist, and food itself does not exist.
