The last one that made Dawkins crack up also had me giggling helplessly... :D

1. I always love the letters he gets....

they are so full of that pure Christian love.:eyes:

[Warpy]

2. HA!

Is there anything funnier than semiliterate garbage full of gutter language being read in an upper class UK accent?

I don't think so!

:rofl:

3. Awwww...how sweet

those Xtians! Why don't they just say how they really feel? :eyes: And so eloquently too... :banghead:

There is something about hearing him constantly get bleeped while reading these... :rofl:

4. I'm on a non-political, book-related forum..

and a bookseller on that forum posted about how someone had come to her bookshop, bought and paid for a copy of "The God Delusion" - and then proceeded to tear it into little pieces in front of everyone.

6. She should encourage them to do that as often as possible!

[deepthought42]

8. And yet if I did the same with the bible...

I'd get in trouble. Sigh. :eyes: Does she realize she's just giving atheists money by purchasing the book? :rofl:

5. "Gaaaaaaasp"

:rofl:

Was that part of a TV show or is it Internet only?

9. It says it was part of "The Genius of Darwin"

and it rings a vague bell (I saw it broadcast in the UK).

The YouTube comment credits it to the BBC, but it was Channel 4 in the UK (as shown by the '4' in the top right corner).

7. Hey, he's a Mac user!

Not that I'm religious about that or anything, but if he'd been using Windows I'd have had to despise him.

[Random_Australian]

10. Pah! A heretical Mac user, are you?

And the LORD spoke, saying "ok, now at least you have excel. But really, everything from GAMESS to MatLab to Maple were written for windows, so you still suck"

Note: GAMESS is a computer program for finding the energies and dipoles and such by using quantum mechanics, in case you weren't up-to-date on programs from the early nineties that only are useful in a very specific field of research.

11. Look, I don't make the rules, ok?

If it were up to me, I'd be fine with whatever perverted choices you want to make, but I'm required to despise you, because I'm so hip and stuff.

By the way, Mac users don't really have Excel. Sure, they have something called Excel, but it appears to be an elaborate practical joke. Mac users who are serious about Excel use it under Windows via Boot Camp or VMware or Parallels.

12. You can be hip, but I'll be thyroid.

(Not usually noticed until it fucks up)

Oh, how could I forget? Origin was built for windows. It even runs on windows 98 or whatever the old one is.

And Origin rules. (I can fit an exponential decay of a nonlinear function to my data, and it will give me the error in my paramaters)

13. .

"you can be hip..I'll be thyroid"..Somebody sounds like they are picking up some of Orrex's punny ways....:rofl:

[Random_Australian]

14. I've been punning since before you Born (Max Born, in your previous life)
