Because I am not a fan of religious belief, I am a hard-core leftist? You aren't doing much to dispel your irrational reputation.

As a representative of the hard-core-left, I can say that I really don't care
"As a representative of the group that Dawkins upsets most, I am not troubled by him being censored by my group."

Yeah, you're basically confirming Boodidlie's point here.

I'm not troubled by a local radio station rescinding their invitation to talk to anyone. It would be censorship if they had been forced to withdraw their invitation, that doesn't seem to be what happened here.

As a representative of the hard-core-left, I can say that I really don't care, Dawkins hasn't been relevant in years and private radio stations aren't obliged to give anyone a platform.

It's just strange and hypocritical that Dawkins would get no-platforms for this. It's almost like they had no idea who Dawkins was before booking him to speak.

Maybe not, most people just know Dawkins as 'that famous atheist guy' I'm guessing that when the studio directors were made aware of some of his comments, they decided that he wasn't worth the hassle and dropped him.

Oh Rama ... where is your sense of humor ...
btw: just because a woman mentions God does not automatically mean that she is Christian ...
the Demons believe in God and they tremble

If that is the case, then their booker did a shitty job.  Dawkins has been at this for quite some time.  It is funny that they dropped him specifically for disparaging Islam and not any of the other religions he criticizes.

Fear is part of most animals.  Thus, God must have given it to us as part of our biology.  And it makes sense.  Without fear, we'd all die alot faster.
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

Indeed, there is a healthy fear and an unhealthy fear ....
The fear of the LORD (awesome respect) is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding ... Proverbs 9:10

Show me a man who says: "I know not the meaning of fear",  and I'll show you an idiot who gets beat up a lot

Fear is part of most animals .. Thus, God must have given it to us as .....

sorry, but man (as opposed to animals) is made in the image of God .... but yes, fear spans all species

Thus, god gave us fear.  Which contradicts your quote above.

Also, fear is not respect, FYI.

Grammar nazi in hebrew is also irrelevant.
And again, fear is not respect.  You have not refuted that.

Yup, inviting people then withdrawing that invitation is generally a crappy thing to do, but in the grand scheme of things its nothing to get too bent out of shape over.

It might be argued that, as the majority religion in the US, Christianity can afford to take it, whereas a minority faith who regularly receive persecution and abuse for their belief could probably be spared Dawkins' increasingly unhinged babblings.

Posting the same link in which someone, in their interpretation, justifies why a word in Hebrew means both reverence and fear does not make you right.
First off, Hebrew is not English and we are using English.
Secondly, the word means "to flow out of the gut" which covers a wide range of things such as fear, nervousness, anxiety, etc... which is what you feel when you meet someone you revere.  Reverence does not flow from the gut, but from the heart.

Third, everything he wrote is total BS anyway.

His entire basis is ירא(yare) meaning the same thing despite two passages that he claims show them meaning different things.

Genesis 3:10
Deuteronomy 6:13

However, according to Bible hub:
http://biblehub.com/text/deuteronomy/6-13.htm

It means fear, not respect.

It's because Christians won't blow you up for criticizing their religion. Muslims will.

I like how you're just swapping languages randomly.

Also, I looked up Revere's entomology.  Fun stuff.  Like did you know it didn't exist until the 17th century?  Well after the bible was written.  It's from french, which got it from Latin which means "intense Fear".  Though I will admit, it also means respect and in awe of. (the root latin)
Which doesn't apply today BUT it does makes me wonder...
What society has Fear and Respect as the same word?  The answer, of course, is when you use fear to gain power or have others in awe.  Which isn't true respect.


But we could do this all day.  Point is, one can't be fearful of God and Respect God at the same time.  You are in awe because you are afraid of him and his power.

pfft !! ... God's Spirit lives IN me -- Jesus calls me his friend -- my sin is forgiven --
God gave me to his Son as a love gift from the foundation of the Earth --
I call God "Abba Father" (Daddy) and I will live in eternity in His presence
