		<description>It&#039;s far more serious than bad manners, but also exposes the fact that this types viscerely hate what they say doesn&#039;t exist. Even Satan had brains enough to try to tempt Him - not not deny His existence.

Imaging - being dumb enough to blaspheme God.</description>

		<description>If true, Dawkins would probably be the first author in recorded history not to be ticked off if he found out someone deliberately defaced his book.  Academics and egos and all that...</description>

		<description>Not to defend Myers, who acts badly in my opinion, but I think you&#039;ve missed the point completely as to why &lt;em&gt;The God Delusion&lt;/em&gt; was desecrated.

The point Myers was trying to make I think was that Richard Dawkins will not be at all &quot;angered&quot; over the desecration of his book.  To Dawkins, his book is &quot;just a book&quot;.  Indeed, the concept of desecrating a book is silly to Dawkins.  As long as you&#039;ve paid for it, Dawkins doesn&#039;t really care what you do with it.

And its hard to argue he doesn&#039;t have a point.</description>
