Richard Dawkins Out To "Destroy Christianity"

In an interview with Christopher Hitchens, which was conducted in October and published in a special Christmas issue of the New Statesman, Richard Dawkins admitted that he is out to destroy Christianity. Dawkins, author of “The God Delusion,” asked his fellow atheist, “Do you ever worry that if we win and, so to speak, destroy Christianity, that vacuum would be filled by Islam?” (New Statesmen, December 16, 2011). Dawkins is whistling in the dark. Apostate Christianity, such as the Church of England, has nearly destroyed itself, but Biblical Christianity can no more be destroyed than Jesus Christ Himself. He promised to be with His disciples to the end of the world (Matthew 28:20). The Roman emperors could not destroy Christianity, nor could communist Russia or communist China, and they had more resources than Dawkins and his “new atheists.” Hitchens, author of “God Is Not Great,” died on December 15 of throat cancer, and Biblical Christianity is alive and well and the gospel is being preached to the ends of the earth and souls are being saved and new churches planted. The same will be said when Richard Dawkins and his entire “new atheist” crowd have gone to their eternal wages. “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision” (Psalms 2:1-4). (Friday Church News Notes, December 23, 2011, www.wayoflife.org)
