RICHARD DAWKINS COMENTA E ENRIQUECE
O PROGRAMA DA TONY BLAIR FOUNDATION
(que, diga-se de passagem,
bem podia apoiar a candidata Laurinda)



(Blair says) "We are focusing on five main projects initially, working with partners in the six main faiths"

(Dawkins answers) Yes I know, I know, it’s a pity we had to limit ourselves to six. But we do have boundless respect for other faiths, all of which, in their colourful variety, enrich human lives. In a very real sense, we have much to learn from Zoroastrianism and Jainism. And from Mormonism, though Cherie says we need to go easy on the polygamy and the sacred underpants!! Then again, we mustn’t forget the ancient and rich Olympian and Norse traditions – although our modern blue-skies thinking out of the box has pushed the envelope on shock-and-awe tactics, and put Zeus’s thunderbolts and Thor’s hammer in the shade!!! We hope, in Phase 2 of our Five-Year Plan, to embrace Scientology and Druidic Mistletoe Worship, which, in a very real sense, have something to teach us all. In Phase 3, our firm commitment to Diversity will lead us to source new networking partnership opportunities with the many hundreds of African tribal religions. Sacrificing goats may present problems with the RSPCA, but we hope to persuade them to adjust their priorities to take proper account of religious sensibilities. (...)

(Blair says) "Children of one faith and culture will have the chance to interact with children of another, getting a real sense of each other’s lived experience"

(Dawkins answers) Cool! And, thanks to Tony’s policy of putting as many children as possible in faith schools where they can’t befriend kids from other backgrounds, the need for this interaction and mutual understanding has never been so strong. You see how it all hangs together? Sheer genius! So strongly do we support the principle that children should be sent to schools which will identify them with their parents’ beliefs, that we think there is a real opportunity here to broaden it out. In Phase 2, we look to facilitate separate schools for Postmodernist children, Leavisite children and Saussurian Structuralist children. And in Phase 3 we shall roll out yet more separate schools, for Keynesian children, Monetarist children and even neo-Marxist children. (texto integral aqui)

Eu também tenho fé que ele venha a ser o presidente da Europa. Que cheiro a urze queimada seria, para nosso encanto e elevação a Deus.

Eu sempre fui mais fã da cara-metade, Cherie. Uma verdadeira santa.
