That's exactly the sort of thing you won't have to read if I meet my Challenge goal by Friday. Or even get $1000 or 100 new donors by Friday, in which case I'll have to do a respectful review of his book.
Thus far, we've only picked up $120 in new donations, so it's not looking real likely. But, hey, a sudden surge of generosity could put it over the top... So why not donate?

Honestly? Specifically because "Richard Dawkins" Is A Big Mean Doodyhead is exactly the sort of thing I'd like to see more of. Which makes me a bad person, but Dawkins has a way of making points that I might broadly agree with in a manner that makes me mutter "God, what an ignorant tool" under my breath.

Well, if this week's incentive doesn't pan out, maybe next week I'll offer an incentive for people who would like to see more "Richard Dawkins Is a Big Mean Doodyhead" posts...
