Dear Richard Dawkins,
I would like to to apologize for not knowing you sooner so that I could warn you in advance against publishing your anti-religion work. Not simply I myself am "religious", but because your arguments are worse than merely unconvincing - they're uninteresting and unoriginal. I am sorry that you dwell on the bottom rung of the anti-theistic militants like Daniel Dennett and Sam Harris, whose arguments, while equally unconvincing, are at least more interesting.
Perhaps I could have prevented you from becoming the laughingstock of even many non- and anti-theistic thinkers who consider your (mis)understanding of basic theology comparable to that of a high schooler. If only we had been classmates, I could have rescued you from your Anglican upbringing and ushered you into a Presbyterian or Reformed Baptist Church! Ezekiel 3:18 certainly provides a sober warning as far as warning others goes:
""When I say to the wicked, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand."-Ezekiel 3:18
The reason I didn't was because of temporal and geographical inconvenience. Write something more interesting you miserable apostate!
Your friend,
Daniel

Dawkins book was actually my favorite. Harris and Dennett were good as well. I suppose it all depends on perspective. You should read his new book on evolution "The greatest show on earth". I'm about half way through, it's brilliant.
