The Bizarre and Expensive Cult of Richard Dawkins The neckbeards better start saving their pennies. [The] Richard Dawkins website offers followers the chance to join the ‘Reason Circle’, which, like Dante’s Hell, is arranged in concentric circles. For $85 a month, you get discounts on his merchandise, and the chance to meet ‘Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science personalities’. Obviously that’s not enough to meet the man himself. For that you pay $210 a month — or $5,000 a year — for the chance to attend an event where he will speak.
When you compare this to the going rate for other charismatic preachers, it does seem on the high side. The Pentecostal evangelist Morris Cerullo, for example, charges only $30 a month to become a member of ‘God’s Victorious Army’, which is bringing ‘healing and deliverance to the world’. And from Cerullo you get free DVDs, not just discounts. But the $85 a month just touches the hem of rationality. After the neophyte passes through the successively more expensive ‘Darwin Circle’ and then the ‘Evolution Circle’, he attains the innermost circle, where for $100,000 a year or more he gets to have a private breakfast or lunch with Richard Dawkins, and a reserved table at an invitation-only circle event with ‘Richard’ as well as ‘all the benefits listed above’, so he still gets a discount on his Richard Dawkins T-shirt saying ‘Religion — together we can find a cure.’ The website suggests that donations of up to $500,000 a year will be accepted for the privilege of eating with him once a year: at this level of contribution you become a member of something called ‘The Magic of Reality Circle’. I don’t think any irony is intended. View Quote |

Kind of like #Ferguson #DontShoot dumb asses. |

Judging by the German writing on the sign in the background then he was fighting for the Furher. |

Well, okay...it is your avatar, after all. But I will now have to change my mental image (voice in head that "says" your comments) from thinking of you as a cool Swedish-accented Mr. T to hearing your comments delivered as an eighteenth century fop with a powdered wig...a proto-neckbeard, if you will. I will hear your comments in the voice of the royal twit in the castle (about to be married to the very large maiden) from the Monty Python Holy Grail movie..."But Fawther..." You should read my posts in this guy's voice: http://www.theladiesofthehouse.org/0304_Blackadder.jpg "Yes, yes. I think so too. All right then, well take this down; From His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales to Miss Amy Hardwood: Tally ho, my fine saucy young trollop! Trip along here with all your cash and some naughty night attire, and you'll be staring at my bedroom ceiling from now until Christmas, you lucky tart! Yours, with the deepest respect etc. Signed, George. P.S. Woof, woof!" |
