Richard Dawkins

A child is not a Christian child, not a Muslim child, but a child of Christian parents or a child of Muslim parents.

Richard Dawkins

It sounds superficially fair. But it presupposes that that there is something in Christian theology to be ignorant about. The entire thrust of my position is that Christian theology is a non-subject.

How would he respond if a fairyologist, astrologer or Viking accused him of ignorance of their respective subjects?

Richard Dawkins
