In today's Washington Post, Richard Dawkins let both guns fly at the hypocrisy of Christian theology as it relates to the condemnation of Pat Robertson's controversial comments about Haiti. Here is an excerpt:
Where do you find the effrontery to condemn Pat Robertson, you who have signed up to the obnoxious doctrine that the central purpose of Jesus' incarnation was to have himself tortured as a scapegoat for the 'sins' of all mankind, past, present and future, beginning with the 'sin' of Adam, who (as any modern theologian well knows) never even existed?

Our pal Richard Warren has said publicly (including on Twitter) that Pat Robertson's remarks are "nonsense".
So what is Richard going to do to help the Haitians, you might ask? Well...believe it or not...he is going to mud wrestle Dwight from the hit comedy show The Office on Pay-Per-View television, with the proceeds going to charities working in Haiti. I am serious. This is true.
Wow. That's a very well done essay. Makes the point quite well.
I loved listening to this. First time I have ever come across a post that I can listen to. :)
