Richard Dawkins: I can't be sure God does not exist
Atheist leader is now wavering in his stance against God. Its an amazing thing how when people begin to reach their end (age 70), when the end of their tunnel is getting close, they begin to doubt.
[QUOTE][B]He is regarded as the most famous atheist in the world but last night Professor Richard Dawkins admitted he could not be sure that God does not exist.
[/B]
There was surprise when Prof Dawkins acknowledged that he was less than 100 per cent certain of his conviction that there is no creator. An incredulous Sir Anthony replied: “You are described as the world’s most famous atheist.” Prof Dawkins said that he was “6.9 out of seven” sure of his beliefs.[/QUOTE]

Yet they more I read of Bladers the more I question how a supreme being could have created him.

I also thought the title could also be "Prominent Atheist Leader converts to agnostic afters tens of years of championing atheism."
[QUOTE]He told the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, that he preferred to call himself an agnostic rather than an atheist.[/QUOTE]

Ever heard of 'Don't shoot the messenger?'
Is the message too much to handle that you have to shoot to messenger in an attempt to cover up the message?
Point is, your leader converted to agnostic. Don't start insulting someone who you don't believe in. Let's talk about your leader who after years of championing athiesm and cursing religion including agnostism, is now converting to agnostics?
Re: Richard Dawkins: I can't be sure God does not exist
he knows damn well there's no god, but as he nears the end of the line, his ego needs there to be a god. because if you're an athiest, the prospect of completely dissolving in to nothingness can be truly terrifying.
god and religion may be bullshit, but it does tend to keep you feeling a little warm and toasty even in the worst of times, knowing that you'll be preserved in some form after your body dies.
dawkins as a scientist can simply point to the old logical statement that god can be neither proven nor disproven, and so bring himself a little comfort in his final years.....

He's not my leader. I'm a practicing Catholic. Yet, according to you, I'm going to Hell for not worshiping the right way. Ever heard of "there's more than one way to skin a cat"?

I know right? It means an eternity without Bladers.

That's not the issue. I think you and gigantes have it wrong.
Infact there is nothing scary about nothingness. because there is "nothing".
What Dawkins is wavering in is the thought of "something".
What if there is something...for someone who have spent his whole life traveling around the world proclaiming there is "nothing". It is a scary thing when they come to the realization that there could be "something".
Therefore he converts to agnostics. Because he no longer believes there is No God.
But I wonder what all those people he has fooled and stringed around all these years are saying.

If you skin a cat, no matter the method, you're going to hell.

Looks like you made that. Ever heard of don't use God's name in vain... and before you tell me i didn't use his "name". Do you know what God's name means?
Re: Richard Dawkins: I can't be sure God does not exist
You are just not smart enough to convince people Bladers. You lack the required amount of intelligence and people skills.
Know your limitations.
