Talk:Dawkins' God

message: Just a small point. Dawkins is quoted as having said he "read it with genuine curiosity to discover whether he had any argument to offer in favor of his theistic belief." This is copied out of an American document, which explains the lack of a U in the word favour. However, as Dawkins is English, and this quotation is now on wikipedia, should it not be seen that he would have intended the U in the word?
:I would say that it should appear here as it appeared in the original document. Otherwise you are reproducing it inaccurately. --Dannyno 20:47, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I put the quotation in a paragraph (first paragraph) because it really didn't have a point to have a section with one sentence and a quote. IronCrow (talk) 02:51, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "Didn't really have a point"? I call shenanigans. This is the one major response Dawkins has given to a book that is a flea on his person and his writings, and his response is not supposed to be heard in proper -- but rather your unfair mangled version of it? I think you have an ulterior motive, and I have reinstated the quote. 84.202.247.230 (talk) 10:11, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Meh.. I still think it should include the reason why he considers it a vacuous subject, by the comparison to other non-subjects about mythologies, i.e. fairyology, astrology, etc.  I suspect the christians editing the article (Ironcrow & Andycjp) snips out that part of the quote because it embarrasses christian theology, not because the quote is too long. 84.202.247.230 (talk) 10:34, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Meh too! I agree with you really. Maybe I should have expressed myself more clearly. In fact, I see no reason not to include the whole quote, so as to provide the context. But at least the latest hacking job leaves something that makes sense - unlike some of the earlier prunings. SNALWIBMA ( talk - contribs ) 10:38, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

text: To the IP above - One sentence doesn't need an entire section. Be reasonable. As for blaming another editor's edits based on their religion is a personal attack. I doubt that he meant anything religious by the quote, as it it is STILL IN THE ARTICLE at the time of the edit, jsut moved over.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use.
