        @sapinker @tnr I question whether John Gray is somewhat envious of Richard's platform.

        @sapinker @tnr Coyne castigates Gray for commenting on Dawkins (rather than his science) in a review of an *autobiography* - wtf.

        @sapinker @tnr Gray's article was scurrilous and disgraceful as well as being logically fallacious.

        @sapinker @tnr To attack Dawkins' ideas, one needs intellectual capital. Finding his account overdrawn, Gray resorts to dull tongue wagging

        @sapinker @tnr Maybe but there is some truth e.g. in 4. Creationism was not a huge problem in say 50ies.

        @sapinker @tnr - John Gray sounds like S.E. Cupp, another "atheist" who joyfully falls on the proverbial grenades for the religious.

        @sapinker @tnr Dawkins doesn't play politics the way you did in Blank Slate (e. g. reassure others that these ideas aren't threatening)

        @sapinker Dawkins goes beyond disdain of religion to bigotry. There is no more such thing as "Muslim culture" than "Christian culture"
