Cofty: Godzoo if I heard that a mutual acquaintance had suffered a stroke I would let you know. Would you accuse me of idolatry for doing so? Dawkins is a public figure whose work has been important to millions of people including many on this forum. Why is it strange that we would comment on his stroke? Don't be so churlish.
I have seen may people have bad health reports in here and you not care a tweet. There are also thousands of people that do wonderful things for humanity yet you don't bat an eyelid if they stub their toe in the night or even die for that matter. I was just curious why this particular man gets your care and affection? Is it because he is one of the founding fathers of your view on life? If so just say so and stop pretending you have real altruism and compassion.
Good try but I am being in no way mean spirited towards Mr Dawkins and nothing in my previous comment reflected that.. It was pretty clear I was just looking at you actually.
