There are a lot of very intelligent people out there with the ability royally to piss me off. Richard Dawkins is one of them. Materialism leads directly to moral relativism--that should be obvious to anyone with enough brains to read books written before 1853 AD. Why anyone listens to him on any subject besides evolutionary biology is beyond me. Of course, Dawkins thinks that every subject comes down to evolutionary biology, so perhaps that's why he feels qualified to write on anything, no matter how uninformed he may be.
