Laugh out loud...such courage from the men of a certain persuasion!
In a recent Al-Jazeerah interview, Richard Dawkins was asked his views on
God. He argued that the god of “the Old Testament” is “hideous” and “a monster”,
and reiterated his claim from The God Delusion that the God of the Torah is the
most unpleasant character “in fiction”.
Asked if he thought the same of the God of the Koran, Dawkins ducked the question, saying:
“Well, um, the God of the Koran I don’t know so much about.”
How can it be that the world’s most fearless atheist, celebrated for his
strident opinions on the Christian and Jewish Gods, could profess to know so
little about the God of the Koran? Has he not had the time? Or is Professor
Dawkins simply demonstrating that most crucial trait of his species: survival
instinct.
