"Harry Potter fails to Cast Spell Over Professor Richard Dawkins" -- London Telegraph
Some real doozies from this article:
"I think looking back to my own childhood, the fact that so many of the stories I read allowed the possibility of frogs turning into princes, whether that has a sort of insidious affect on rationality, I'm not sure. Perhaps it's something for research."
"It is evil to describe a child as a Muslim child or a Christian child. I think labelling children is child abuse and I think there is a very heavy issue, for example, about teaching about hell and torturing their minds with hell.
"It's a form of child abuse, even worse than physical child abuse. I wouldn't want to teach a young child, a terrifyingly young child, about hell when he dies, as it's as bad as many forms of physical abuse."
This coming from the guy who claimed that there is no standard for determining whether or not something is "evil". What a nutball.
On the bright side, maybe this looniness will wake people up to the equally-fundamentalist nature of his brand of atheism. Come to think of it... isn't it funny that Dawkins and fundamentalist Christians now have something in common? They hate Harry Potter!
