Rich, don't be such a dick . . .
“I wrote [an] article called ‘Atheists for Jesus,’ I think it was… Somebody gave me a t-shirt: ‘Atheists for Jesus.’ Well, the point was that Jesus was a great moral teacher and I was suggesting that somebody as intelligent as Jesus would have been an atheist if he had known what we know today.”
Thus spake Zarathu . . . aw, no, it's biologist Richard Dawkins, demonstrating once again tyhat a condition of atheism seems to include the obsessive need to mock and ridicule believers of a faith, particularly Christians (because Muslims will kill you, especially in London). They cannot be content living with their non-belief and allowing others to live with their chosen faith traditions.
What do we know today that would have changed Jesus' mind? Nuclear physics? The mapping of the human genome? Even if you want to take the posiiton that Jesus was not God, His teachings point to the fact that he spoke to the essence of human nature . . . which remains today as it was 2,000 years ago.
Perhaps an intelligent and moral man that Jesus would be today would have said to Dawkins, "Stick with what you know."
