Richard Dawkins can fuck off!

I'm a Muslim but i don't care if it offends other people or not. I have atheist friends, but do i care if they are Atheist? No. I don't care if evolution happens. Heck, maybe evolution is a part of creationism. But still, i don't care.

One thing i don't like about atheism is their "philosophers/scientists" or whatever you call it. I enjoyed the works of Nietzche, but with people like Hitchens, Dawkins, Hari and Pullman, they should just fuck off. Especially Dawkins.

Some atheists aren’t satisfied by simply having this argument and feel the need to actually dedicate their lives to it by writing books and appearing on TV. Dawkins, a scientist and author who has a chair at Oxford University and has many acclaims. He’s done other stuff in the past but at the moment his whole thing seems to be going round the world and explaining to religious people that they’ve wasted their lives.

That's fine. But do we care? No. Do we care you're an atheist? Fuck no. Why should an atheist like Dawkins care if there are people with religion? It's like a straight man caring about gay sex(which is a reality sadly).

It's not like people are gonna say to Dawkins - "Gee thanks Richard. I used to believe that there was a universal controller, but thanks to you i'm now free". Okay, so maybe there are people who became atheists because of Dawkins, and yes it is true that his book "The God Delusion" sold 31 million copies. But Dawkins, with his arrogant smirk and intolerance, believes that the world would be better without religion. It's like saying that children will be free without parents.

One reason he cites is that wars have been fought over religion, therefore it is bad. Yes Richard, wars have been fought over religion, millions of people have died in its name but do you really think that there would have been no war without it? I think we’d probably just have had wars for different reasons don’t you? Sadly people just fight with each other sometimes, people’s interests are at odds sometimes, sometimes people look across borders and think ‘Y’know what? I’d quite like all that land for myself.’ More often than not religion’s just an excuse.

‘Religion gets in the way of scientific progress!’ is another form of bullshit spewed by atheists like Dawkins. Religion may not be compatible with science, but science and religion can exist together without clashing of ideas. Look at the likes of Al-Razi, Albert Schweitzer, Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, Al-Jabr, Al-Ghazali and such. These scientists and inventors are religious. However, what Dawkins seems to forget is how these innovators can be intelligent while being religious. Simple: The leave out religion so that they could continue their works. Dawkins thinks that "If a man with a religion wants to do science, he has to involve hsi religion" That's not true. Scientists have never involve their religion with theirs cientific achievements. Never. Does Mohamad El Baradei ever involve his Islamic beliefs when he's dealing with Iran's nuclear issue? Never.

But what about intolerance? Religions promote intolerance right? Okay, a very small minority use religion as an excuse to be homophobic, racist etc. But again, there are just small minded people in the world who are going to see somebody doing something different and get all angry. People hear what they want to - if someone’s chosen to fixate on the obscure parts of the Bible or the Qur’an that deride homosexuality then, let’s be honest, they’re most probably quite the homophobe anyway. It’s not as if there aren’t racist/sexist/homophobic academics now is it?

And what pisses me more about Dawkins is that he downplays the positives of religion. Rumi, Michaelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, David Lynch, Stephen King and Bono have such a hard-on for God that they created arguably the greatest work of art, film, music and literature in history(Eventhough i hate Bono). I’m pretty sure that some Muslim brothers would still perform the haj & umrah when every copy of ‘The God Delusion’ has been rightly pulped - are we really more of an advanced society without God?

I remember watching Dawkin's documentary "The Root of All Evil", and one thing that kept pissing me off was the use of the word "truth" continually. To start with, considering it was such an integral part of his argument, you would think he would define the term 'truth' at least once. But alas, it was left unsubstantiated.

Richard Dawkins thinks truth is inalienble with science. That is such a rigid and presumptious way to look at truth. What has been considered scientifically sound in the past has been disproven: 'The earth is flat'. Science cannot provide us with total stability or objectiveness. My personal understanding of truth is a philisophical one of individual perception. Something is only true if I perceive it to be true. Truth is only that which I agree for it to be. And is not completely based on scientific knowledge

Nietsche once wrote "There are many kinds of eyes..., and consequently there are many kinds of 'truths', and consequently there is no truth"

The perception argument for truth is classic post modernism, and I personally disagree with the idea of their being 'no truth'. If truth is only what we perceive, then the 'truth' can be twisted to fit ones own ends. On the other hand, I think that hunting for truth by logic and science alone is foolish and is subject to ones own perception and use of that logic. As the cliche goes, the truth is somewhere in the middle of these two arguments!

Dawkins, as usual, believes there is only his way and that somehow that his pure, robotic logic is delusion and perception free and hence can only be the truth. Unfortunately, like most of his arguments, it is a lie...

So, in conclusion; are those guys at the Christian rock concert & Nasyid gatherings waving their hands in the air a little weird? Yes. Deluded? Maybe, but you definitely can’t call them miserable. They’ve figured out a way to exist in this bizarre world that works for them and they’re not hurting anyone, so leave them alone you sanctimonious prick!
