  Dawkins Chapter 2 - Dogs, Cows and Cabbages

  by KateWild in

  i have to say, i am afraid i found this chapter labourious to read in most places.

  imo i felt he just wasn't getting to the point.

  i don't get why dawkins felt the need to teach me all about platoism, essentialism and rabbits.

  wouldn't it be nice if they said 'you know what, we've made millions in property sales recently, lets donate a couple million to a philipines relief fund..'

  ten vans full, probably just for jw's.

  Nice summary konceptual!

  I agree, one of the lasting damages that the WT mentality leaves is that the Kingdom will solve all so there's no point rearranging the chairs on the titanic.

  Thanks for providing an alternative viewpoint emeth, it is always good to see a healthy debate. It can get a little one sided on here sometimes... I hope you weren't censored. But if you REALLY wanna taste censorship, post ANYTHING controversial on jwtalk! dare ya!

  a sneaker or an outward display that i am now following after another religious group?.

  Hah ! Way to attract attention to oneself !

  Tbh you cant knock the fact that theyre sending out aid, but it galls me that they could do so much more.

  and at the same time they slag off churches of christendom for not getting the preaching/humanitarian balance right. A GOOD DEED IS A GOOD DEED no matter who does it..

  arent there laws about transparency for charities?

  shouldnt we be able to find out where the money goes?

  They'll have the ultimate say but they'll delegate to others i'd imagine...
