This is old news having a new outing:

‘The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.’

Richard Dawkins

The whole story is on Spiegal Online International.

    My goodness Dawkins is everywhere! This is the 4th reference I’ve seen to him this week.

    jb says: He certainly gets around. I’ve got something else lined up for next week.
