Sanity or insanity? Misery or faith? Pascal or Mohammed?
This past week, Richard Dawkins, the UK’s most renowned atheist and one of the most lauded non-believers in the world, declared that he preferred living in a culture that was predominantly Christian over one that is predominantly Islamic; specifically, Dawkins averred, quote, “If I had to choose between Christianity and Islam, I’d choose Christianity every time,” end quote.
He further declared that he was pleased with declining church attendance on the Continent, but allowed as how he was concerned that as Christianity was receding in Europe, Islam was on the rise. Lastly, he confessed that he was, quote, “slightly horrified” that in London the city was lit by Ramadan lights instead of Easter lights, and that he thought of himself as a cultural Christian. Evidently some flicker of hope, if not wisdom, remains yet in the good doctor.
It seems so easy to me: Christianity and hope, or atheism and nihilism; or, through a less existential lens: destruction and Islam. Isn’t it as simple as sanity or insanity?
I think that some of the Richard Dawkins of the world have awakened to a fear greater than any they’ve previously imagined. The problem is, having shunned God they long ago assumed for themselves infallibility, and admitting they’re wrong and something must be done is a bridge they are not quite yet prepared to cross. Trouble is, by the time they are ready, they may be left with nothing but a prayer that a God they betrayed remains merciful.
