The so-called sacred texts especially of the monotheistic religion are full of approximations, falsifications, calls to murder, and so on... That undreds of millions of people on earth are ready to take those texts litteraly without an ounce of critical spirit, is proof that humanity is in a sad state, and the wake-up is going to be particularly harsh...
I'm from portugal and Saramago was brilliant

I think he shouldn't confuse Biblical God and REAL God, that is something we will never understand.

And both have exactly the same amount of evidence for it.
Unless you are referring to the "REAL God" as being nature.

@DemonicCathode I meant that REAL God is a force, something we will never truly understand. Yep. I am not an atheist.

obrigado Saramago, acredito em Deus, e não "no" Deus, como português tenho orgulho em teres cá nascido e mostrar-nos o que o mundo é
