The Apple & The Talking Snake

Let me start off by warding off those closed minded Fundamentalist thinkers, you can't change your mind nor can you fully comprehend what you are reading. These people believe in: Vampires, Werewolves, burning Witches, Ghouls, Ghosts, Incubus, Succubus, Demons, Angels&Devils, Beelzebub, human sacrifice(Old Testament), offering their daughters up for gang rape(Sodom Old Testament), rivers turning to blood, raining frogs, boils, wholesale murder(death of the first born), Jonah(a man living in a whale), sun rotating around the earth, The Great Flood, The Ark, a Virgin Birth, Lazurus raising from the dead(I wonder whatever happened to him anyway), Resurrection of Jesus(bodysnatchers probably), Praying to non existant Entities(schizophrenia, or talking to yourself), The Whore of Babylon(great title), Lilith(Adams evil ex-wife), Garden of Eden, A Talking Snake(O Brother!), Rampant Inscest(Old Testament, where else do you think all the people came from after Adam and Eve were thrown out of Eden), Women the reason for all Evil in the world(The Bible), The Apple(any scientist will tell you that apple trees don't exist in that part of the world)ect. ect. ect. The list could be endless. I want to say that this book 'The God Delusion' had a profound effect on the way I will tolerate people who choose self imposed ignorance and fear of the unknown(called Faith)over scientific fact. These childish people should be shunned as potentially dangerous(as history has shown so)to intelligent free thinking individuals. Atheist's try to work, learn, live and love in a dangerous world, but unfortunately were surrounded by superstitious, zealous, hate mongering yokels who would do anything...even kill(bombing abortion clinics, shooting Doctors) or impose anything, politics...(teaching creationism, prayer in schools, we walked with dinosaurs, hate gay people ect.) to make you or your children fit into their Idea club. Religion is a choice, though not a smart one. Richard Dawkins you are a brilliant, articulate, literate man and I will read anything and everything you've ever written.

Must read, but make your own conclusions please!

I really am a fan of Dr. Dawkins. The world needs a lot more people like him, people who keep the ideas of Carl Sagan to heart and live and learn by asking people to "show" them rather than tell them.

The book, if you're an intellectual free-thinker, will be much like him preaching to the choir. If you're 'smart' enough to understand and take away from what he's talking about then surely you'll enjoy it. If you're religious, perhaps not -- but hopefully you'll at least take a stab at it for perspective if nothing else. And as Amazon's moronic review of the book suggests, NO, it doesn't provide good enough proof that the world will be better off without religion. Surely, that's an easy thing to do, how could Dawkins overlook such a minute detail!?

The most beautiful perspective that you can see the world through is by using the lens of reason. The Earth, its people, and all of the things within it and beyond it are more beautiful with each and every discovery science makes and I do feel bad that this book doesn't communicate well with the opposition -- but then again, when people are willing to kill, shackle, and bound others for their beliefs, I doubt words, no matter how profound, will matter much.

I do get a bit peeved when our reality is labeled the "natural world" and the impossible and illogical gets called "supernatural" -- what's more fantastic than what we have before us!?

Read the book!

Enlightening

"The God Delusion" was an interesting read. Dawkins covered all the bases of his arguments...sometimes making the book seem very academic. Nonetheless, it's worth your investment.

A must-read

This book is very instructive and a must-read whether you believe in God or not. I liked it most for its underlying deep humanism, although the author is at times too agressive in his rhetoric.

Excellent.

Evolution vs Design.
I would rather take some biology classes than
waste my time inside churches.
For halucination purposes, some drugs as less dangerous
and less bloody than any "God"
