Richard Dawkins and the God of the Old Testament
#31
RE: Richard Dawkins and the God of the Old Testament
Quote:“What has theology ever said that is of the smallest use to anybody? When has theology ever said anything that is demonstrably true and is not obvious? I have listened to theologians, read them, debated against them. I have never heard any of them ever say anything of the smallest use, anything that was not either platitudinously obvious or downright false. If all the achievements of scientists were wiped out tomorrow, there would be no doctors but witch doctors, no transport faster than horses, no computers, no printed books, no agriculture beyond subsistence peasant farming. If all the achievements of theologians were wiped out tomorrow, would anyone notice the smallest difference? Even the bad achievements of scientists, the bombs, and sonar-guided whaling vessels work! The achievements of theologians don’t do anything, don’t affect anything, don’t mean anything. What makes anyone think that ‘theology’ is a subject at all?


-Richard Dawkins

Dawkins tells the theology crowd that they are utterly fucking worthless and they rant and scream "yes, we are" but they never produce a single fact to sustain their argument.
How much better the world would be without any of the scumbags.
