Again I've said there's nothing wrong with questioning. However Dawkins' agenda runs far deeper than simply questioning.
Regarding my friend who survived a suicide attempt. Unless he kept something hidden from me for 15 years he had nothing in his past that would have given off suicidal tendencies. Having Dawkins tell him everything he'd lived for over the previous 10 years being a 'lie' is what pushed him over the edge.
You say for me not to take Dawkins' words personally. If you make it your mission to try to destroy a part of my life that had helped me through many potentially devastating situation over the year you're damn right I'm going to take it personally.
If you longer on the notion that religion "can't prove" anything then it suggests you have a lack of the very basic understandings of what 'faith' is.

I understand that you are upset and unhappy by Dawkins because you feel he is telling you how to bring up your children, or telling you what to believe. Yet isn't that what religion does?

Intententionally taking my point out of context. You knew exactly what I meant.
