6/14/2015 8:12:07 PM Posted: 2 years ago I am a huge Richard Dawkins fan, having read all of his books. But I must have missed this following quote, as it a a few years old but I just came across it last night in a book I am currently reading called "The Language of God" by the Geneticist Francis Collins.
So...all my friends out there: christians; muslims; Agnostics and hardcore Atheists: What do you think of this quote. Agree? Disagree? Comments? Thanks. Oh..by the way..I will kick this off by giving my humble opinion. And that is, I agree with him 110%!! Here it is............ "It has become fashionable to wax apocalyptic about the threat to humanity posed by the AIDS virus; terrorism; mad cow disease, and many others, but I honestly think a good case can be made that Religion is on of the world's greatest Evils. Comparable to the smallpox virus, but harder to eradicate." ----Richard Dawkins Science Flies Us to the Moon. Religion Flies us Into Skyscrapers. |

Ignoring problems doesn't make them go away. |

Ask those who faced Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, Atheists. Is Atheism a threat more or less than Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, or Buhdism? |

Both Hitler and Stalin were insane, ruthless dictators who wanted to be gods, hence they had no choice but to eliminate the gods people believed. Do you actually believe you'll find a reasonable, rational and logical atheist who worships and praises Hitler or Stalin? Do you actually think atheism had anything to do with these psychotic mass murderers?
