"Atheist" Richard Dawkins Open to Possibility Of God, Just Not the Term 'God' ?
I found the third paragraph in this article of particular interest:
And, although he resisted calling it God, he said that he believed in the possibility of a transcendent “gigantic intelligence” existing beyond the range of human experience. He added that his main target in The God Delusion was fundamentalists.
Sounds like a simple twisting of semantics to me.
In my opinion, and as I expressed in an email to Carrie in regards to this article, it doesn’t matter the label one uses, be it Allah, God, Diós, Dieu, Deus, Krishna, the Great Spirit, or something totally different… it seems to me that Richard’s problem is simply with the tendency of Christian fundamentalists to define who God is, or to assume they know what God wants, and not with the possibility of God’s existence. If that is the case, and the definition of an atheist is someone who denies the existence of god, Richard Dawkins cannot accurately be described as a true atheist.
What say you?
heroic patience in the face of extreme ignorance and hypocrisy. my hat’s off to you chris.
