Professional Atheist Dawkins Says Christianity May Be "Bulwark Against Something Worse"
Thomas D. Williams writes at Breitbart:
In a text that is coursing about on social media, professional God-slayer Richard Dawkins begrudgingly admitted that Christianity may actually be our best defense against aberrant forms of religion that threaten the world.
"There are no Christians, as far as I know, blowing up buildings," Dawkins said. "I am not aware of any Christian suicide bombers. I am not aware of any major Christian denomination that believes the penalty for apostasy is death."
"In a rare moment of candor, Dawkins reluctantly accepted that the teachings of Jesus Christ do not lead to a world of terror, whereas followers of radical Islam perpetrate the very atrocities that he laments," Williams writes.
"Because of this realization, Dawkins wondered aloud whether Christianity might indeed offer an antidote to protect western civilization against jihad," Williams continues.
"I have mixed feelings about the decline of Christianity, in so far as Christianity might be a bulwark against something worse," Williams quotes Dawkins as saying.
