MAIL Online: Biologist Richard Dawkins has attacked the Pope as 'stupid' over his claim condoms increase AIDS.
The prominent atheist said Benedict XVI would end up with the blood of millions of people on his hands if they took his words seriously.
Speaking at a university in Spain, he raged: 'I wonder on what basis anyone can say condoms make AIDS worse.
'The Pope is either stupid, ignorant or just dim.
'If people take his words seriously he will be responsible for the deaths of thousands, perhaps millions of people.'
Dawkins, 67, launched his attack in a press conference at the University of Valencia after being awarded an honorary degree at an official ceremony.
He also claimed the more people thought for themselves, the less they were likely to believe in God.
And he congratulated U.S. President Barack Obama for overturning predecessor George Bush's funding ban on stem cell research.
Professor Dawkins is known for his passionate views and has become known as much for his views on atheism as his Darwinist theories on evolution. >>> By Gerard Couzens | Wednesday, April 1, 2009
