So you copied it from a website who purposely took the book out of context, that purposely made it seem like the quoted part was Dawkins own opinion. Why defend what you quoted when you could have quoted from the actual source?

but don’t let the truth get in your way!
I guess you don’t see the irony. You posted deliberately misleading material. I can’t help but think it may have also been deliberate on your part since I’ve already corrected you on this exact quote like 2 months ago.
I know you can do better without posting unambiguously and verifiably false information.

No. I don’t think azquotes intentionally took the quote out of context. I don’t even think the quote is out of context. It aligns perfectly with every other quote I posted. Those are his words. ‘An atheist (like Dawkins) before Darwin could have said…’ He then goes on to say how that position was ‘logically sound’ but Darwin’s theory made it ‘intellectually fulfilling.’ I don’t see the problem.

I honestly don’t see it that way. I’m sorry you do. You seem to forget (or maybe you don’t understand or believe) that I operate with the belief that I will be held accountable, by God, for every single word, thought, and action/inaction. While I am not incapable of folly, I do make a concerted effort to be honest and forthright in my defense of Christianity, and my criticism of opposing worldviews. I assure you, I do not operate under the guise of intentionally concealed deception.

Again, I don’t think it was dishonest. The context of the full quote gives me the impression that Dawkins is saying that’s what he would have said- before Darwin- just without complete certainty. But, since Darwin, he is ‘intellectually fulfilled’ in holding that position.
Did you seriously not read the rest of the post? Shame on you! How are we going to engage in meaningful debate, if you’re not willing to grapple with the entirety of my viewpoint? FWIW, I am ashamed of the way I have responded since I started with DB. I’m going to apologize to him. But, I wanted you to know that I know I was wrong to lower myself to the level of trolling. There’s no excuse for that. I repent.
