Quote: "We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born"
This is a word for word quote:
Read it again , Utter nonsense isn't it , it implies there are some people who aren't born!?. (this actually sounds like something a Buddhist or Daoist might say, implying that there are actually a whole host of people waiting to be born!?)
And i bet those who defend it will say it has to be read 'in context' , well NO actually, sentences (written by a scientist in particular) should be fully intelligable by themselves.
Agree?
And no i am not a religious person in any way , i am a rational agnostic looking for intelligent insights into our existence. Dawkins needs to cut back on his attempt to make sensationalist bestsellers and get back to proper observation.He exagerates the threat from religions massively, the west is more secular than ever
