This reflects the age we're living in, the mass of people giving a wild ovation to the leader of the global atheist movement, Richard Dawkins.

The crowd gives him right, but didn't the crowd always followed like Lemmings?

As usual it is ISKCON who's giving the Dawkins of kali-yuga the biggest applaud,

Sitapati das, moderator of planetiskcon.com:

 

"This is Dawkins at his finest. A flawless victory without a doubt. The crowd gives him a wild ovation after a 70 second response to "the simplest question" from an audience member at Randolph Macon Women's College in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Dawkins delivers his stunning oratorial tour de force by enveloping the question using a rhetorical cultural relativity argument that sweeps his opponents legs from under her. Again he wraps his opponent in a metanarrative. He doesn't address the question itself, but rather goes on the offensive, and attacks the questioner and their frame of reference.

This is a prime example of Dawkins at his best - he is playing to a live audience of the public. Remember that he is the sitting chair for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. He is a populist orator. He knows how to play to the crowd, and this crowd of Americans cheers him on like he were Hulk Hogan and this were a Friday night Smackdown at the WWE."
