Richard Dawkins Stirs Controversy for 'Mild Pedophilia' Remarks By Michael Gryboski The Christian Post

Notable atheist intellectual and author Richard Dawkins has stirred controversy for recent remarks in which he refused to condemn what he called "mild pedophilia" that took place during his childhood.

In an interview with The Times last weekend, Dawkins said that while in school back in the 1950s one of his schoolmasters "pulled me on his knee and put his hand inside my shorts."

Dawkins went on to claim that "I don't think he did any of us lasting harm" and that he could not condemn "people of an earlier era by the standards of ours."

"Just as we don't look back at the 18th and 19th centuries and condemn people for racism in the same way as we would condemn a modern person for racism," said Dawkins.......

Matthew 18, verse 6: he who violates a child should be drowned in the depths of the sea.

I was speaking specifically of the "afterlife" damnation. The verse from Matthew Im familiar with.

I guess one part of the lake of fire is just as hot as any other.

Thank you

It makes me think of Whoopie Goldberg’s horrid defense of Roman Polanski when she mentioned the difference between “rape” and “rape rape.”
