Liberals Ratchet Up the Violence Meter By Tom Brewton
Christopher Hitchins and Richard Dawkins, in their violent attacks on spiritual religion, sound very much like Adolph Hitler and Joseph Goebbels.
Herr Hitler and his propaganda minister needed a scape goat to explain the collapse of German militarism in World War I and the German Empire's wallowing into fecklessness under the socialist Weimar Republic. As the world knows to its sorrow, they found the scape goat.
Messrs. Hitchins and Dawkins see a terribly disordered world that they blame upon religion. Mr. Hitchins, in god is not Great, repeats every few pages: "Religion poisons everything." Mr. Dawkins, in The Blind Watchmaker, wrote:
It is absolutely safe to say that, if you meet someone who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I’d rather not consider that).
