In a broadcast entitled "The root of all evil?" British evolutionist Richard
Dawkins engaged in a rant against what he considers the greatest threat
facing humanity.
"I'm very concerned about the religious indoctrination of children. I want
to show how faith acts like a virus that attacks the young and infects
generation after generation . . . It's time to question the abuse of
childhood innocence with superstitious ideas of hellfire and damnation. And
I want to show how the scriptural roots of the Judeo-Christian moral edifice
are cruel and brutish . . . What in the 21st century are we doing venerating
a book [the Bible] that contains such stuff? . . . . The God of the Old
Testament has got to be the most unpleasant character in all fiction --
jealous and proud of it, petty, vindictive, unjust, unforgiving, racist, an
ethnic cleanser urging His people on to acts of genocide . . . When it comes
to children, I think of religion as a dangerous virus. It's a virus which is
transmitted partly through teachers and clergy, but also down the
generations from parent to child to grandchild. Children are especially
vulnerable to infection by the virus of religion."

This man Dawkins is a leading anti Christian in the Western world....The number of times I have had his logic quoted as an answer to the need of society, beyond number. I make this post for insight and awareness. Only wish that I knew a way to get back to this anti-christ.
God Bless.....Pray for the downfall of his soulish,egoistic,blasphemous empire, in Jesus mighty Name.
