Richard Dawkins spoke at a press conference at the University of Valencia. He was there to receive an honorary degree. Reportedly, he said "I wonder on what basis anyone can say condoms make Aids worse. The Pope is either stupid, ignorant or dim. If people take his words seriously he will be responsible for the deaths of thousands, perhaps millions of people."

It was also reported that he said that people should think for themselves, which likely would lead them away from belief in God. And, he feels that if Catholics around the globe embrace the pope's way of thinking, the pope will have blood on his hands.

He congratulated President Obama for overturning George Bush's stem cell research restrictions.

Richard Dawkins will be speaking at the American Atheists convention on April 11th in Atlanta, Georgia.
