Again, more emphatically: let there be absolutely no doubt that there are some execrable posts in this blog. I had fallen hook, line and sinker to post-9/11 xenophobia, misconceptions about my fellow human beings, and like many teenaged boys, I revelled in feeling smart - so Dawkinsesque arrogance was like, totally, my thing. I was an idiot, it's embarassing, but I'm leaving it here to remind myself and you that no one is beyond saving.
Laugh, don't cry; I'm feeling much better now.
