Is God the Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction?

Filed under: Christianity, Is this Blasphemy?, Judaism, Quotes, Richard Dawkins — Michael Nugent @ 4:05 pm

Publishing or saying this could be illegal in Ireland if the new blasphemy law is passed:

The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthristy ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”

Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion, 2006
