And, with such a target, it is not very difficult to poke holes and pile on the ridicule. Leave aside the fact that you can make an even stronger case against Godlessness – remember the atrocities of atheist totalitarians in the twentieth century – and consider the assault on those whose commitment to literal interpretations of religious texts means that they deny science and reason.
道金斯和希钦斯这样的无神论者所攻击的正是我们的上帝。 而且，面对这样一个目标，故意找茬加以嘲笑似乎并非难事。 撇开可以大力反驳无神论的事实不谈（二十世纪无神论极权主义份子的暴行至今还让人记忆犹新），单说攻击字面解读宗教典籍者意味着他们否定科学和推理。 在他们看来创世纪只需要六天，而生物进化不过是虚构的故事。
