yesterday, I put up a quote by richard dawkins
in which he describes the god of the old testament as
'arguably the most unattractive character in fiction'.
that was the polite bit. *
I was hoping to counter at least some of his accusations.
and it is distressing to find it so difficult.
so I took the quote down, not (I hope) because I couldn't counter it,
(I admit that I cannot)
but because, while there is truth in some of what he says,
it proved too difficult to sift out the reasonable from the rant.
but why the rant at all?
how is it possible to harbour such emotion
for a figure in which one has no belief?
keep silence you say
*(the applause is eery)
