Dawkin's description of the Old Testament God is one of the most eloquently written, and beautifully described things I have ever read.
“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
This post is in no way to be found offensive to any Christian members, I am very sorry if it does cause offence. I simply love his choice of words.
