Talk:Theo Hobson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Dawkins
You have removed my link to Hobson's Comment is Free article where he asks readers to burn their copies of Richard Dawkins The God Delusion.
Why?

- Hi STA. It's because, as I said in the edit comment, this is an article about Hobson, not Dawkins. I feel it is slightly unbalanced to draw attention to the fact that a Christian theologian opposes Dawkins – which one doesn't? The CiF articles are all available from the external link which should suffice in my view. As with everything on Wikipedia, this is just my opinion and others may disagree. Take care.

Most reasonable Christian commentators would not urge their supporters to burn their opponent's books. Hobson has been particularly vitriolic in his attacks on Dawkins and his hatred says far more about Hobson than Dawkins.SpeakerToAnimals 11:45, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- The book burning thing was clearly a joke, and I don't think that "vitriolic" would be a fair description of Hobson's writings on any topic. Laurence Boyce 17:00, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
