Whilst I have some time for Richard Dawkins and his very well researched views on atheism and the futility of religion, I find him ultimately conceited, egotistical and smug in the extreme.

His comments about aborting babies that may have Down;s syndrome as I have said earlier are outrageous as they suggest further down the line we could abort any baby with any type of deficiency or abnormality.

And if I remember correctly a certain Austrian madman had the same sort of ideas.

Mr Dawkins should keep his nasty ill-conceived views to himself.

Saying that it's murder is ridiculous and ignorant.
