Richard Dawkins – Rare Moment of Clarity
Drink it in while it is fresh because such moments of lucidity come very rarely to the “atheism” as anti-Christianity minds of people such as Richard Dawkins who make their living by expressing prejudice.
There are no Christians, as far as I know, blowing up buildings.
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.
I have mixed feelings about the decline of Christianity, in so far as Christianity might be a bulwark against something worse.1
On the other hand, do not be shocked as atheism leaves Dawkins so empty that he considers himself a “cultural Christian.”

I think that you are missing the context; the US military does not do that which it does because they are Christians and not due to Christian doctrine.
Now, please write to Dawkins, explain to him how he is wrong, then send me an email via the contact page with the discussion and I will post it here.

Jason (not verified) — Thu, 04/22/2010 - 10:13amChristianity may be on the decline in the west, but it is going full bore in many parts of the world. There are an estimated 150 million Christians in China, for example. The Lord is sovereign, and the gates of Hell will NEVER prevail against His universal Church.
