I hope I got you’re attention, I just got my copy Saturday of the New Book by Richard Dawkins called THE GOD DELUSION read about a third of the way through it last night. I love the part found on page 52 about a Tea Pot. This is not an exact quotations but I will paraphrase it. He is talking about religious people they never try to disprove their religion but this has been left up to the non-believers and doubters, here I go.
If I was taught there is a Tea Pot the revolves around the Sun between Earth and Mars no-one could prove me wrong, remember it is not my responsibility to provide proof for this Tea Pot. It is for the people that disbelieve it, it becomes their responsibility to disprove it. Compounding this more is ancient manuscripts say this sacred Tea Pot exists and we owe everything to it. Down through the century’s little children minds have been instilled with stories of how great this Tea Pot is. At least one day a week through out history has been set aside for honoring it. The greatest telescopes on Earth cannot see it. But humans know it exist because of the power it has too change peoples lives that believe.
There is no way a human can disprove it exist or prove it. The mirror assertion it does not exist is heresy and distains the person questioning.
This is one tiny part of Richard Dawkins book a very good read. Highly recommend it for the blind faithful. The rest like myself it truly arms us. Hope you buy it and read it.
