Richard Dawkins, RIP

Richard Dawkins, famous scientist/atheist and television star of Hogan's Heroes, is dead.

I got on my cell phone and asked him what he thinks about things now.

One of these days I'll remember what makes you laugh... Then lookout!

Someone told me years ago that life is two percent what happens and 98 percent how we take it. Life is attitude. I laugh. Poor Dawkins. I laugh at him too. Sort of.

But not too much. It's summer time, and the livin' is easy....

JaaJoe, thanks for the link to the review.

I think of Camus's observation in one of his "Notebooks," that Communism and Christianity are both religions. That atheists don't understand that is almost unbelievable.

Richard Dawkins was NEVER on Hogan's Heroes. The actor on Hogan' Heroes was Richard DAWSON. Dawson never espoused atheism and is not connected to Dawkins.... I find it unfair to connect Dawson with Dawkins. This is the second time I found that error on this blog... I corrected it last time too, but I guess it went unnoticed. The point is probably moot now that Dawkins is gone....

Yes, Dawkins is gone, but he will live eternally in reruns. I know I for one shall laugh at every joke. I never seem to tire of them.

But I don't know what reruns Dawkins will be seen in... Unlike Richard Dawson in Hogan's Heroes, I highly doubt that Dawkin's atheist poison will be remembered or seen again except by the small clique of deluded atheists, but certainly not by Hogan's Heroes fans who have never heard of Dawkins! lol...

I really liked the way he was so English, a great contrast to Hogan's Americanism and the little French guy's Frenchness and the Germanness of the two Germans, especially Col. Klink. One must wonder how such a funny guy like Dawkins could be a humorless atheist. Life is cruel sometimes. Thank God for reruns.

This is all a joke, right? No group of people could be this dumb...could they?

Reduce doubles, mate.

And before I admit to being "this dumb," which is certainly possible, just how dumb is "this dumb," exactly?
