Richard Dawkins

There is an interview with Richard Dawkins on Spiegel. I don't know whether this interview is particularly good, but I generally would subscribe to most of his views about religion.
"Unsere heutige Ethik haben wir doch gar nicht aus der Bibel. Unsere Werte - Gleichberechtigung zum Beispiel oder das Verbot von Sklaverei und Folter - haben der Schrift nichts zu verdanken. Sie sind entstanden in einem liberalen Konsens, den wir mit allen Menschen teilen, die wir zivilisiert nennen. Wenn wir unsere Ethik wirklich aus der heiligen Schrift bezögen, wäre die Welt ein entsetzlicher Ort. Wie das Afghanistan unter den Taliban."

About

My name is Magdalena Luz. I grew up in Switzerland. I studied physics at Humboldt University Berlin, where I used to live in "Nordkapstrasse" (North Cape street). That's how this blog got its name. After a short intermezzo in Copenhagen, DK, I live now in the amazing city of Wuppertal. This is a place the wild, wild West of Germany, built on 7 hills, (which is really the only thing it has in common with Rome) It is populated by the strange species of homo germanicus occidens communis, also known as 'gemeiner Wessi'. And even with her it is light years away from ever being like Berlin.
