Twid:  Point also taken, then it reminds me of being part of His bark's everlasting continuity.

Wiki provides some thought provoking info on people's reactions to Down's diagnoses.
QuoteAbout 92% of pregnancies in Europe with a diagnosis of Down syndrome are terminated. In the United States, termination rates are around 67%, but this varies significantly depending upon the population evaluated. When nonpregnant people are asked if they would have a termination if their fetus tested positive, 23–33% said yes, when high-risk pregnant women were asked, 46–86% said yes, and when women who screened positive are asked, 89–97% say yes.

Dawkins' view doesn't seem that far off the norm, so why slag him in particular?

Aside from the fact that he is another man once again telling a woman that a certain choice for what she does with her baby is immoral?


[Dawkins hate derail]
Lets be clear here, Dawkins doesn't get slagged off for being an athiest, (although the weird celebrity thing is unpleasant ).
Dawkins gets derided for his horrible worldviews,  horrible political beliefs, and horrible narcissism.

The reason I dislike him is that is that his role as once being a scientist also seems to get him a free pass for the horrible shit he says. I worked in research for a few years before moving into engineering and still have close ties to a lot of the people in there.

Lots of them are vocal intelligent atheists that I respect deeply. I don't like the fact that when he says something idiotic people bring up his past research, it doesn't justify it and its insulting to other scientists. Furthermore I find it unpleasant that he is the go to pop atheist when there are scholars with far more interesting things to say on the subject than him.

I think it's because he's a thick-skulled, shit-talking swill who has taken it as his life-long mission to deride the church and any creationists into oblivion, which is in tune with the everyday super-outspoken atheist who will do anything, so long as they can make a name for themselves as a renowned atheist, no matter how many friends they lose or people they leave dead and bloodied along the way, just so long so they can make a name for themselves as a renowned atheist, no matter how many friends they lose or people they leave dead and bloodied and dying along the way.

Yeah, it's becoming more and more obvious that all factions have this vocal minority of assholes that everyone collectively just wishes they would shut the fuck up.

I hate Dawkins because it isn't about atheism, it's all about Dawkins, running his Palinesque marathon of trying to stay in the spotlight.

He is fucking the wrong end of the pig.
