    When both Maher and Dawkins have always been deeply uncurious. At least as long as they’ve been public figures. Like any right wing talking head. I have the answers, you are an idiot.

    It’s my perception, at least, that once people give up on curiosity it’s an inevitable slide to bigotry. I think religion does that to a lot of people, but I think it’s an atheistic masturbatory fantasy that this is exclusive to religion.

      Dawkins suffers from something a lot of my dad’s professor colleagues (and even my dad, to a lesser extent than some) suffered from- Believing that having a doctorate means you’re an expert on everything.
