I’m considering offering $250 for the winning entry in a flash animation contest. I’d like the flash animation to incorporate the following elements:

(1) Portray Richard Dawkins as a cult deprogrammer.
(2) Portray a 7-year old Stephen Colbert as the theist he must convert to atheism. (See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuXpysYEhgA and below)
(3) Employ 10 classic Dawkins quotes.
(4) No violence.
(5) I’ll throw in an extra 100 bucks for a flatulent version of Dawkins (only for private use — maybe).

This needs to be done cleverly and with a light touch. Right now I’m just soliciting ideas to flesh this out.

Mr Dembski, Sir, I'm confused. I thought this was an Intelligent Design blog, not a Christian one, but you (and quite a few other commenters here) seem to be primarily interested in and making religious rather than scientific arguments. If I've misunderstood the intent of this blog and it is a religious blog I apologize for intruding since I'm not a Christian. Perhaps you could point me to an Intelligent Design forum where I can discuss the science behind ID?gaspass

What do you make of the apostle Paul expressing the wish that the Judaizers go the whole way and not merely stop with circumcision but actually castrate themselves (see Galatians)? I like Steve Jones (the Australian), but disagree with him here. In Titus Paul talks about Cretians being always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies and that for that reason they need to be rebuked sharply so that they may be sound in the faith. It seems that Dawkins and his fellow atheists deserve no less.William Dembski

"No. By both public denunciations and subtle Jewish sarcasm on how stupid they were! " But, he didn't poke fun of them and promote a "flatulent version" animation. Someone linked to the following blog in an earlier comment: http://creationevolutiondesign.blogspot.com/2006/12/what-would-jesus-blog_19.html You guys might read it and think about it. I did, and realize I need to watch myself as well.Forthekids

Love the proposed title. --------------- One could love Dawkins - as an enemy to truth - and it would still do him no good whatsoever. How did Christ love the pharisees and other nerds of his time? With mush and fluff? No. By both public denunciations and subtle Jewish sarcasm on how stupid they were!Borne

“Sometimes the best way to love people is to give them strong medicine.” Yes true. There’s a difference between “love thine enemy” and “let thine enemy walk all over you” Can’t your enemy learn a few lessons from a good rebuke too? Wouldn’t that be love?shaner74

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;jb

"I’ll throw in an extra 100 bucks for a flatulent version of Dawkins (only for private use — maybe)." Now this one I was already considering before you mentioned yet. I have plenty of nice audio of Dawkins to use. But too bad I was "banned" from here a couple of months ago. Hee hee. Phil PPhilVaz
