Su Newsweek il “rottweiler di darwin” Richard Dawkins annuncia il suo prossimo libro ateista e spiega quale fede in Dio sia sinonimo di ignoranza e quale sia compatibile con la scienza e l’evoluzione
Ninety percent of Americans say they believe in God. To make fun of them is to alienate them.
Well in that particular passage I’m only talking about the God of the Old Testament, so the only people who will be offended are the people who believe in the God of the Old Testament—which by the way is most of the people you’re referring to. So that has to be conceded. But I also suspect that if they actually read the Old Testament, they could not fail to agree with what I said. The God of the Old Testament is a monster. It’s very, very hard for anybody to deny that. He’s like a hyped-up Ayatollah Khomeini.
But if some portion of that 90 percent are intelligent people…
But they wouldn’t disagree with what I said about the God of the Old Testament. They’d probably say something like, “Oh, that’s quite different. We believe in the God of the New Testament.” Something like that.
Not if they’re Jewish they wouldn’t.
Well, sure enough. They’d say, “OK, we’ve moved on since that time.” Thank goodness they have.
