Fresh new Rilstone, while it's hot, they're luverly

Andrew Rilstone has posted some more in his Sceptics Guide to Richard Dawkins. There's a critique of Dawkins's response to people who complain that he doesn't know any theology, and another criticising Dawkins's claim that "You shall not kill" was only ever understood to refer to fellow Jews.

[livejournal.com profile] atreic has a small discussion about it. [livejournal.com profile] gjm11 has commented on Rilstone's blog, and, not very surprisingly, I think we're in agreement on this. As I said in a previous entry on Rilstone's earlier entries in his Guide, I don't think he's answered Dawkins's best arguments.

Dawkins has read more of the Bible than of theologians.

No wonder he has a distorted view of Christianity.

If you want to learn about Christianity, you don't start off with the Bible.


You start with the spin doctors.
