Dawkins, as I have said, tells us that there is “absolutely no reason” to think that the Unmoved Mover, First Cause, etc. is omnipotent, omniscient, good, and so forth. Perhaps what he meant to say was “absolutely no reason, apart from the many thousands of pages of detailed philosophical argumentation for this conclusion that have been produced over the centuries by thinkers of genius, and which I am not going to bother trying to answer.” So, a slip of the pen, perhaps.
Edward Feser

It robbed her of every vestige of responsibility, and then called her weak.

Very sacred is the vocation of the artist, who has to do directly with the works of God, and interpret the teaching of creation to mankind.
