It’s hard not to admire Dawkins’ skill when he compares the narrow spectrum of electromagnetic frequencies that our senses can detect to the slit in a burka worn by Muslim women. In both instances one’s vision becomes very limited. As with any good debater, Dawkins relishes unfairness in a good cause. To implicitly lump all believers into the same bag as Jerry Falwell and mullahs in Iran ignores a thousand divisions of faith. To portray God as an anthropomorphic patriarch sitting above the sky ignores thousands of years of theology and philosophy. Allah isn’t personified, neither is Yahweh in the Old Testament or Brahman in Hinduism, not to mention belief systems like Taoism and Buddhism that dispense with God but retain a transcendent dimension . </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BDE6950A-CBE2-446C-AFEA-9A238B961317/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
