Jesus Creed. Why the challenge of Dawkins and Hitchens is both bracing and simplistic. The God who comes down into our mess.

In other words, Dawkins and Hitchens offer a simplistic view of God and a simplistic view of Scripture. In their thinking, if God is a perfect and holy being, then God must remain above the human fray and make things right without soiling himself in human affairs; and if he does muddy himself in the mire of the human, it’s proof he is no better than his dysfunctional creatures. Indeed, a perfect God would not allow such imperfections in the first place.
