Note that they waited until he was dead to try this. Because if he was still alive, well, that state of affairs wouldn’t last long after peddling his works in muslim-town.
He’ll never convince them that praying five times a day to a meteorite isn’t important.
It’s pretty remarkable how much human blood has been shed over the centuries because of that worthless metorite, isn’t it?
Will be interesting watching Dawkins try the evangelical-atheist thing on Muslims. Can you spell “Fatwa”?
Because replacing religious belief with atheism has worked out so well for the West./s I know quite a lot of Muslims. The ones I know have always been polite and respectful to me. Their devotion to prayer and study, and what they know about their own faith, put a lot of Christians to shame. I am not overlooking the problems of Islam but, as a Christian, I would hope to see Muslims turned toward something besides a gray, godless secularism.
Allah righty then.
I would suggest one odd factor in this discussion. As various Muslims left Iraq and Syria....moving into Germany, a very small percentage upon arrival was drawn to read/discuss the Bible. If you take what the news media suggests, there’s probably in the range of a thousand who converted to Christianity. Some might have done it to ensure the visa approval process, but in doing so, they’ve created a lifestyle that prevents them from socializing with most of their former Muslim friends. I met one of them last year in a language class. I certainly won’t go and suggest a large percentage shifted, but it is odd that a smaller group did.
Sorry, I should have asked you to tell me what my experience is.
Go for it!
Pass the popcorn!
“Note that they waited until he was dead to try this.”
Richard Dawkins is not dead.
It has also been my experience but then if you do dig deep many of them do hold anti- Jewish views etc. which I find more than disturbing. I have dealt with highly educated ones via Universities so mostly they are people able to think for themselves unlike those who may be easily lead by mad preachers.
Now that I think of it, Dawkins and Mohammad do have some things in common. They both are philosophically incompetent and yet see themselves as super enlightened. And they are both rabid critics of every religious doctrine except their own.
I’m sure it’ll fly off the shelves.
It is also a testament to fact that humans are easily duped into believing lies about whom that Creator is...and that they would rather die than use their minds to solve the mystery of whom that Creator really is (in other words, many would rather believe a lie even if it means their death).
Oops, I thought he died a short while ago. Well, I imagine once he starts publishing his atheist works in mulsim-town he’ll be offered plenty of chances to go discover first hand if his feeling about God are true or not. It’s what they do.
I see shat you did there.
Well played.
