Management for 74-year-old author of The God Delusion say he suffered ‘minor stroke’ in UK on Saturday but has already returned home from hospital

But the health scare has caused him to postpone his tour, his management said in a message passed on to ticket holders on Friday.

...By Thursday he had recovered enough to use Twitter, plugging a book called God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction, for which he had written the foreword.

..A steadfast critic of religion, who nevertheless recently criticised leading UK cinema chains for refusing to screen an advert featuring the Lord’s Prayer, Dawkins has regularly been named one of Britain’s top public intellectuals.

no comments from me...

who’s he praying to ?

[Lawdoc]

I wish him well. Hopefully he will see the Light :)

[80skid]

Why is the UK filled with delusion of at least lets say a higher power?

Inbreeding gone to far.

[Paladin2]

Lightning?

[Myrddin]

He's about to get a huge surprise. Likely a humbling one.

[bigbob]

Well I guess he can ask the Great Pumpkin or the spirit of the tree or something for comfort

[[Dawkins has regularly been named one of Britain’s top public intellectuals]]

intellectual? Someone who thinks belief in God is caused by a virus is an intellectual? An intellectual rejects first hand accounts of a supernatural resurrection?

1 Corinthians 3:19 ... This world’s wisdom is -foolishness- in God’s sight; for it is written, -He snares the wise with their own cunning.-

Who is this guy? I mean, I guess he has popped up in the media, but honestly he is a nobody. Anyway, if he dies or something, no one really cares I think.

[onedoug]

Remembering Antony Flew.
Dawkins should too.

[dfwgator]

I’ll pray for him, just the same, whether he likes it or not.

[Blue Jays]

Loved him on Hogan's Heroes and later on Family Feud game show.

[RedHeeler]

Take good care, Dicky Dawkins.

Mick says ...”it’s just a shot away”...

[KittenClaws]

I think Dawson was dealt a bad hand and lacked the support of a Christian friend or relative. Prayers are in order.

[TigerClaws]

Hope he repents and accepts Christ while he still can.

Thank God for His grace and mercy on me!

"The struggle against religion is the struggle for socialism."

— Official slogan of the USSR's League of Militant Godless, aka the League of Militant Atheists

"There can be no doubt about the fact that the new state of the USSR is led by the Communist Party, with a program permeated by the spirit of militant atheism."

— F. Yaroslavsky, Religion In The USSR, p. 59

Dawkins ought to quit kidding himself and others as to what he is about, while he still has the breath of life. Militant atheism is and always has been the movement to crush religion by means of violence and murder.

[adaven]

He is not praying to anyone or anything.

I hope he has a speedy recovery. Brilliant man.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

I pray for him, but he’s a dirty so-and-so.

[Billthedrill]

I’ll pray for him, of course. If he’s right, it can’t hurt, if I’m right, it’ll help. I have always felt that agnostics may suffer from a lack of faith, but atheists suffer from a lack of imagination.

[Heart-Rest]

May the vague smell of sulfur, and the internal glimpse of the dismally depressing light of the seemingly inevitable approach of the lake of fire, help foolish Dawkins to finally see the light, and change his life.
