Is Richard Dawkins an atheist or a ‘Misotheist’?
So, is Richard Dawkins an atheist? He seems more like a God-hater than a genuine atheist. That’s why my colleague, Jonathan Sarfati, invented the word ‘misotheist’ (hater of God10 ), which he has applied to Professor Dawkins and other fanatical opponents of the God of the Bible.

George Orwell identified this sort of ‘atheist’ in the character of Bozo, in Down and Out in Paris and London: ‘He was an embittered atheist (the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him)’.11 Interestingly, in The God Delusion, Dawkins carries on about what he doesn’t like about the God he doesn’t believe in.

Dawkins likened himself to ‘the Devil’s Chaplain’, the title of a compilation of his essays.12 However, the Devil does not disbelieve in God; he knows only too well that God is real (cf. James 2:19). The Bible indentifies him as ‘a liar and the father of lies’ (John 8:44); so what of ‘the Devil’s chaplain’? Perhaps Dawkins did not think very carefully about this biblical allusion!


If Dawkins really believed what atheists supposedly believe, he should just put his feet up with a bottle of scotch and just enjoy himself …

If Dawkins really believed what atheists supposedly believe, he should just put his feet up with a bottle of scotch and just enjoy himself as he waits for his death and his consumption by worms so he can fertilize the grass. Getting his blood pressure up over people believing in God all seems rather futile, if atheism is true. But perhaps it isn’t? Ah, there’s the rub.

The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God’. (Psalm 14:1).

.A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.

Dawkins hates the stupidity of Religion, he can't hate God because he doesn't believe in it.

no, I think he really hates God.

You people just cannot accept that some of us truly do NOT believe god/s exist/s!
If I appear to be anti god it is because I am, but because I DON'T believe in god I am merely anti the idea of god.
I am as 'anti' satan as I am 'anti' god, but I sure as shit don't believe in satan.
It really isn't difficult.
We don't believe in god. We DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD...
Getting it now?
