by Richard Dawkins
read by Richard Dawkins & Lalla Ward
In his new 600 page book, Professor Richard Dawkins dismantles all the arguments for Santanism.
Page by page, he carefully debunks all the Clausian myths and shows how science is making inroads into some of the more difficult questions raised by Santalogians.
"A tremendous work - vivid, exacting and a darn good read! Dawkins, yet again, creates prose of stunning clarity that leave the reader in no doubt as to his message." - The Times
"Christmas will never be the same again! A brilliant book on every level." - Derren Brown
"It will be hard for anyone to believe in this stuff after reading this superbly written tome." - The Guardian
"A poetic diatribe for Christmas Future. Dickens would be proud." - New Scientist
".. puts Santa Claus, the reindeer and the elves firmly back in the toy box. Then locks it. Then nails it forever closed. A stunning work." - Time
"You'd be crackers not to read this dismantling of the National Elf Service" - The Spectator
"If only there were a Santa Claus. He would be delivering this marvellous book to every kid." - Ariane Sherine
This is the whole of Chapter 1, "The Red Cloak of Ignorance" read by Dawkins and his wife, Lalla Ward (who used to be in Doctor Who).
I don't own the rights, so please buy the book . It's well worth it.
Makes an ideal Christmas present.

A nice hommage to Richard Dawkins and to human Idealism in its different variations and nonunifiable Plurality.

I plead guilty to having a filthy mind. I thought this was the greatest "hoe" on Earth too. xD
Oh, how far from innocent childhood I have come! Santa never crossed my mind when I read "ho"...

Nice vid I liked the book titles!

A narcissistic opportunist is the polar opposite of Richard Dawkins. More than most people, he realizes just how insignificant both he and the rest of mankind are in relation to the cosmos. As far as I can tell, his writings are first and foremost about spreading knowledge, skepticism and combating blind faith in omnipotent sky-men, not about making a quick buck through controversy.
Why is he a narcissistic opportunist in your mind. Can you point to anything in particular (I'd love to know).

Of course...I know it's about Santa Claus NOW, but I clicked on this video in hopes of finding the greatest HOE on Earth. xD
Nevertheless, it was funny. :)
