::::Are you saying that an essay cannot comment on a person's behavior or use satire?  If so, please justify.  [[User:Conservative|conservative]] 01:51, 23 May 2010 (EDT)
  −
:::::No I am not saying that. But I do not have any special knowledge about Richard Dawkin's manhood or machismo. I don't think any information is publicly available about his manhood related behaviour as well, So how do you comment on that? Satire is great if used well. For example Catch 22 is a great satire, but unfortunately your essay is not. It would be rude if I really express what I think about it. --[[User:Johntalbot|Johntalbot]] 15:41, 23 May 2010 (EDT)

::::Perhaps, you should read the essay and the linked resources a few times more and see if you can spot a pattern of cowardice by Richard Dawkins. Anyways, I wrote the essay when I was rather tired and I am made some revisions to it.  By the way,  the Google algorithm loves the essay.  It ranks #1 for Richard Dawkins and Machismo and  ranks #1 for Dawkins and machismo.  However, I am guessing given Dawkins' behavior that many people don't associate the Richard Dawkins with machismo so there is probably not too many searches for this term.  There are a 11,900 Google search results for Richard Dawkins and cowardice, just in case you are looking for further evidence concerning the subject of Richard Dawkins and cowardice.  By the way, could you define "special knowledge".  Also, do all Conservapedia essays need to pass a "special knowledge" litmus test?

so.. are you writing this for google algorithm. Sorry to burst your bubble, but no one is going to search for Dawkins and Machismo. May be you should clear your cache and search it, because when I do that, your page is not even in the top 10. I don't understand what you aim to say by 11900 results for Dawkins and cowardice. conservative and cowardice brings up 287000 results. does that mean anything? I am not sure why you are so much obsessed  about Richard Dawkins' manhood. Shouldn't you be trying to refute his arguments in that precious time? --[[User:Johntalbot|Johntalbot]] 20:24, 23 May 2010 (EDT)

::::I guess you need to take some reading comprehension classes.  I did indicate that I didn't believe there were going to be many searches for the term Dawkins and machismo.  I also noticed you also didn't answer my questions.  I will return the favor and not answer yours.  [[User:Conservative|conservative]] 20:57, 23 May 2010 (EDT)

I was given a link to this essay on youtube, and I can say that it certainly hits the target!  Dawkins is well know for being a coward with regards to avoid all debate with those who don't agree with his worldview, so this kind of hard-hitting satire suits him perfectly!  Keep up the good work Mr Conservative, sadly it's no surprise that the the liberal 'Dawkins Defenders' do nothing but criticize anything that exposes their evolutionist leaders for the frauds that they are. - Andrew.

What's the point of all those essays about Richard Dawkinds? Is this the embryo of an ''unconservapedia'', parody of ''uncyclopedia'', the ''official'' parody of ''wikipedia''? That would be fun, a parody of a parody. Might as well be called ''liberopedia'', and have articles with the Khaddaffi Peace Prize or the Stalin Human Rights awards.

Of course, if Senor Dawkins published fine works in the field of Christian apologetics, Senor Dawkins would have great confidence his work could withstand scrutiny and he wouldn't have to spend so much time in his "intellectual bunnyhole" hiding from strong debaters of the opposition.

During the time before his lecture at the UAF Davis concert hall yesterday I heard a group of students in a [[three syllable chant]] of "much-is-Mo! much-is-Mo! much-is-Mo!" and I didn't know what it was about (I thought they were saying "much is more") until I saw this essay. Keep it up Conservative! Maybe you can shame him into growing a backbone and becoming a man  finally in his late 60's. I regret that I couldn't ask a question of my own but there were some real zingers asked, and he cut a few people short before the could hit him hard, I suspect it wont be too long before his untenable positions catch up with him and he is forced to silence everyone in an attempt to silence his critics!  --[[User:AbbieM|AbbieM]] 20:35, 16 July 2010 (EDT)

::::I added some footnotes for the bunny rabbits for you so you could more clearly see that birds of a feather do flock together. :)  In addition, despite the fact that Dawkins spreads plenty of unpleasant verbal and written bull manure in the public square, Dawkins was never represented as a bull in the satirical essay ''Does Richard Dawkins have machismo?''.  On the other hand, Dawkins' courage is shown as a dead bull.

In the spirit of Christianity and good debate, shouldn't Dawkins be treated with more respect? I do understand that this is satire, but shouldn't we generally be concise, factual and exclude gossip? There are plenty of Dawkins' views to attack without hurling insults about his masculinity.

[[User:Conservative|conservative]] 17:12, 9 September 2010 (EDT)
  −
:::::Emba, tell you what.  Since [[Richard Dawkins]] considers [[intelligent design]] adherents to be creationists and since Dawkins debated [[Richard Dawkins' public refusal to debate creationists|John Lennox who holds to the position of intelligent design]], you can tell Richard Dawkins that I am willing to debate him on the subject of [[evolution]] so he can gain some of the machismo back that [[Richard Dawkins and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach|he lost in the events surrounding the Rabbi Boteach debate.]] I still think it would be better if he once again debated Rabbi Boteach though and Rabbi Boteach has graciously extended an invitation to debate him once more. By the way, can you tell me why [[Richard Dawkins and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach|Dawkins claimed he never debated Rabbi Boteach?]]  A debate which was videotaped. Was it because [[Richard Dawkins and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach|Dawkins lost the Dawkins-Boteach debate according to the college audience?]]  If you could gain some clarification concerning this matter through Mr. Dawkins, Conservapedia would be most indebted to you.  [[User:Conservative|conservative]] 17:32, 9 September 2010 (EDT)
