to produce the EXACT QUOTE from Richard Dawkins that you claim is "atheistic bigotry."

You have utterly failed to do so. The very least you could do is admit that you were wrong about what you claimed Dawkins said. Apologize, and ask for forgiveness. Isn't that what Christians are supposed to do?

But you won't. So I really fail to see why I should take anything you say seriously. Your behavior is most decidedly not "Christian" as I understand most liberal Christians want the word to be defined. I see no love but only hatred and harsh judgmental behavior coming from you. You are one of the few Christians on DU I've seen that militantly defend the concept of hell - I guess that's why.
