Dawkins and Christianity
|
I looked to see if this article was posted anywhere here and I didn't find anything.
Just wondering what you all think about Dawkins' position in the article. https://www.christiantoday.com/article/r.../76416.htm 
Paraphrasing Dawkins out of context perhaps?
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
Ya I need to see the context, because I don't understand what is meant by Christianity being a defense against Islam. As far as Christianity being less violent than Islam I would probably agree, but it doesn't speak to the truth of either religion and I think they are both still dangerous ideologies.

The article is a rehash of an article that is a rehash of a text that circulated on the web, based on nothing but two short quotes from 7 years ago embellished with tendentious interpretations. It's crap journalism. There's not much of substance in there to comment on except this out of context quote by Dawkins where he says that current Christianity might actually serve to keep out more radical religions. And yes, I think that might be true. That the Breitbartesque rag you link to is trying to sell that as an astonishing endorsement of Christianity is pretty silly though.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Have you an actual quote of Dawkins saying that? Or just links to anonymous christard propoganda? Well actually it's both, because you follow the link from your link, it links to breitbart which links to an obscure seven year old blog post quoting something which it purports to be Dawkins, and then compounding it by saying it says x when it says y, a blog post which also was trying to say that gay people were trying to join the EDL which hates gays more than it does muslims. Yeah, your link is a pile of lying shit. Not surprising given you're posting it. Given that Dawkins considers christianity as big a threat as islam is to the world, I am very confident that this is about as truthful as Lady Hope lying about converting Darwin on his deathbed.

Why should I care? . It's not like he's the atheist pope . And thus has divine authority or something.

Right now Christianity isn't in the west but so what. We know what has happened in the past, and you see how our right wing in America is trying to turn back the clock. Power can shift over long periods of time. 
Can't do it. Haven't read the article.
And I should care about Dawkin's position on anything, because...........?  Quote:"There are no Christians, as far as I know, blowing up buildings. I am not aware of any Christian suicide bombers. I am not aware of any major Christian denomination that believes the penalty for apostasy is death," he said. He can simply be wrong, too. Quote:"There are no Christians, as far as I know, blowing up buildings. I am not aware of any Christian suicide bombers. I am not aware of any major Christian denomination that believes the penalty for apostasy is death," he said. Quote:A remote-controlled nail bomb exploded outside a clinic that performed abortions in Birmingham, Ala., in January 1998, instantly killing Robert Sanderson, an off-duty police officer working as a security guard there, and badly injuring Emily Lyons, a nurse who was left maimed and half-blind by the blast. Dawkins should have done a little more research before telling idiot jesus freaks what they want to hear.
As for not killing unbelievers trust me there are Christians who would like this lovely fellows
