The Dawkins Delusion

For those of you that are familiar with Richard Dawkins, you are in for a real treat. However, you have never heard of Dawkins or read his books; you should still get a kick out of this. Dawkins has been dubbed “The world most famous out of the closet living atheist”. Last year he published a book The God Delusion, which has gotten a lot of attention lately.

I came across this mock interview on a blog that I frequent often,
James White. If you have ever heard Dawkins speak, Terry Tommyrot is quite tenanted in his impersonation of Dawkins. In the following interview, you will hear Richard Dawkins’ common augments against the existence of God used against his very own existence. I certainly got a kick out of it.

“If an unbeliever considers Christianity to be irrational simply on the basis that it allows for something to be accepted without independent demonstration, then the unbeliever in question is unrealistic and must be pressed to see that he ends up refuting himself (not simply Christians) in terms of such values and demands. Thus his unbelieving attitude turns out to be the truly irrational attitude, for it inconsistently requires something of it opponents which it does not live up to itself. Such an attitude would make knowledge of anything whatsoever impossible for finite and faulty creatures- and thus shows itself to be supremely unreasonable.”
(Dr. Greg L Bahnsen Always Ready pg 198)




If you liked the interview, you may be interested in this short parable of how this discovery took place in David Anderson’s Does Richard Dawkins Exist? A parable
