Best: "The Art of Noise"

I was just going to post this in kozzy's discussion, oh well :P. I'm quite hyped for the second, working my way through the first one at the moment and enjoying every minute of it.
Why? Just why is there multiplayer?
Steameffekt
I read a review and he says the multiplayer is quite unique and interesting. I'd expect there's a few hours of fun to be had with it.
Adaptation is his best film and performance. Though I havent seen Bad Lieutenant yet. The Weatherman is just weird in parts.. *Waits for someone to say Ghost Rider*biggest_loser
Agreed here. Best film he's been in and best performance from him.
I've been ruminating over some videos on Youtube and I believe that the videos which people derive this impression of an "abrasive" quality are ones in which Dawkins compares Religious belief to a delusion or hallucination. I can easily see why this comes across as deliberately hurtful. However Dawkins has stated on a number of times he wishes people to criticise Religious belief as you do on Political views or musical taste. I also attest that this is Dawkins style and always has been. Take for instance "The Selfish Gene" Dawkins created a title which actually harms general understanding of his theory and ideas, he did not mean to say genes are selfish in a human sense. The same with "The God Delusion" I do not think he means "Delusion" in a derogatory sense.
Anyway that's just my two cents!

I don't think he'd be taken seriously as a rationalist if he went around calling people idiots :P. Again this is your impression but where did you get this impression from? i've seen some interviews where he's basically saying theists should be openly mocked for their stupidity. i'll try to dig up the links if i can.
Great, please do.

I don't know where the conception of this "abrasive" character comes from. I haven't picked up on a hint of it, personally.
I wanted to know people's general opinion of Richard Dawkins and how this related to their belief. Please justify also, it will interest me :). Is he too acerbic? Critical? Or is he spot on?
Just a poll and a little research for me, not trying to spark any debate here!
