steve_h Posts: 544 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Feb. 14 2008,18:05    Quote So why did I post my post: (1) To indicate that there is great interest in our issue and that the same New York trade press is willing to publish both sides of the issue. (2) To offer some titles that I find amusing and that seem to capture more accurately what Dawkins’s book is likely to be about. (3) To work in, albeit awkwardly I admit, that crazy ad about Dean Sachs looking to Mammon as a spiritual provider. 4. To insinuate that Dawkins is motivated by greed rather than intellect. 5. To give the old Materialist/Materialist equivocation a bit of a run, 'cause some of our dopey readership will be taken in by it.
