Confirmed atheist Richard Dawkins was forced onto the defensive yesterday after he died but subsequently rose from the dead in a miraculous resurrection, much like that of the son of God Jesus Christ.
âThere are a number of perfectly logical scientific explanations for what has happenedâ he told journalists flocking to hear his story or just touch the hem of his clothing. âAlthough I was pronounced dead after the unfortunate incident on Friday, the doctors clearly made a mistake. The fact that there was thunder and lightning, and those around claim to have heard the sound of angelic voices is completely irrelevant.â
Dawkins suffered a shocking but ironic death on Friday having been seized by a mysterious gang of burly men dressed as Roman soldiers. They nailed him to a cross, and left him there until he died some hours later. However on Sunday, his body was no longer to be found in Slough mortuary, and he was seen walking on the A4 towards his home, where his resurrection was hailed as a miracle.
It is being suggested in some quarters that Richard Dawkins was being taught a lesson by God, who has now given him magical powers including the ability to walk on water and cast out demons. A bitter Pope Benedict said âWhy is it the naughty ones get all the attention? I have been saying that I definitely, definitely believe in God for ages and I havenât been given the ability to perform a single miracle. Unless you count progressing from the Hitler Youth to being Godâs representative on Earth, I suppose.â
Despite the miraculous events of the past few days, Richard Dawkins was standing by his militant atheism. âAll of it can be explained by science and rational thoughtâ he insisted to reporters outside his front door. At this point a leper rushed through the crowd, and kissed Dawkinsâ feet, only to stand up apparently totally cured of her hideous affliction. âOK, that is pretty impressive, I admitâ said the author of The God Delusion. âOh shit, I think Iâm going to get pissed.â At that he touched a bottle of mineral water, turning it into Chateau Lafitte 1967, and slunk inside to drink it.

[Journalists] seem to feel let down when they discover that the real people aren't anything like the way they so relentlessly portray us; as if, since they've gone to the trouble of inventing extravagant caricatures of us, we should at least have the decency to live up to them in real life.

Whatever else the Bible might be – and it really is a great work of literature – it is not a moral book and young people need to learn that important fact because they are very frequently told the opposite.

In sum, according to Cardinal Pell: Man certainly did evolve from monkeys, Adam and Eve were not actual people, Genesis is a myth, atheists certainly go to heaven, and homosexuals, far from living a sinful lifestyle, are perfectly free to have unions (whatever that means!).
