Welke positie over het bestaan van god(en) onderschrijft u?
Bekende atheïsten Maarten 't Hart, Nederlandse bioloog en schrijver.
CitaatMuch of what people do is done in the name of God. Irishmen blow each other up in his name. Arabs blow themselves up in his name. Imams and ayatollahs oppress women in his name. Celibate popes and priests mess up people's sex lives in his name. Jewish shohets cut live animals' throats in his name. The achievements of religion in past history - bloody crusades, torturing inquisitions, mass-murdering conquistadors, culture-destroying missionaries, legally enforced resistance to each new piece of scientific truth until the last possible moment - are even more impressive. And what has it all been in aid of? I believe it is becoming increasingly clear that the answer is absolutely nothing at all. There is no reason for believing that any sort of gods exist and quite good reason for believing that they do not exist and never have. It has all been a gigantic waste of time and a waste of life. It would be a joke of cosmic proportions if it weren't so tragic. ~ Richard Dawkins |

Ik zag net mijn reactie op de site die ik 6 jaar geleden doorgestuurd heb. Google is een machtige machine!
Ik ben nog steeds Atheïst, en dat blijf ik ook. Wat ik zei over dat andere religies 'dom' zijn dat is totaal niet. Door het multiculturalisme is de maatschappij sterk veranderd.
Het was erg leuk om mijn reactie terug te zien en ik zou zeggen: doe zo voort!
Groetjes,
Charlotte
