***NEW GAME***

[laconicsax]

The object of this game is to quote mine Richard Dawkins to support a position that he doesn't hold. The rules are simple, pick a position, quote mine one or more of Dawkins' works to support the position, present your quote-mined argument with a title. At the very least, cite the work you're mining.

I'll start:

Fundamentalist Atheist Richard Dawkins Supports Forced Euthanasia to Earn Capital

In The God Delusion Richard Dawkins argues for forced euthanasia by suggesting that we force "doctors to put terminal patients out of their agony" as a way to get everyone to start "bumping off their granny to get her money." (Dawkins, 331)

Best quote mine wins!

3. You could never beat the creationists at this game

That became clear when Edward T. Oakes quote-minded Darwin's Origin with an innocent-looking ellipsis which spanned seven chapters! Bow before the master! I couldn't compete with that, but since I've just bought Climbing Mount Improbable, maybe I'll give it a try.

I like the one at the bottom of the page:

"Luke... I am your... father".
