The God Delusion (2006)

I am here 1000% here for LGBT dark academia. SIGN ME UP.

The logic is generally agreeable, and the conclusions he comes to I generally agree with.

The tone he writes with is just insufferable. I found it extremely hard to enjoy.

It is also extremely redundant, and it diverges for chapters at a time, to prove points that don't really seem relevant to the matter at hand. ( )

De esos libros que no te enseñan nada nuevo, pero te dan nuevos puntos de vista. Sus "argumentos" sólo son pura lógica.
Aunque bueno, por momentos Dawkins se emociona (como siempre...) y se le va un poco... ( )

Notable quotes:
"When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called Religion." --Robert M. Pirsig

During the Danish Muhammad cartoon fiasco: "Demonstators were photographed in Britain bearing banners saying 'Slay those who insult Islam', 'Butcher those who mock Islam', 'Europe you will pay: Demolition is on its way' and, apparently without irony, 'Behead those who say Islam is a violent religion'."

After the London Underground bombings: "Everyone is being blamed, from the obvious villainous duo of George W. Bush and Tony Blair, to the inaction of Muslim 'communities'. But it has never been clearer that there is only one place to lay the blame and it has ever been thus. The cause of all this misery, mayhem, violence, terror and ignorance is of course religion itself, and if it seems ludicrous to have to state such an obvious reality, the fact is that the government and the media are doing a pretty good job of pretending that it isn't so." --Muriel Gray ( )

I think this is worth a read for athiests and thiests alike. It rambles a bit and I considered putting it down about halfway through because I got bored, but I'm glad I finished.

If you're a thiest, it will only provide you insight into how somebody could be an athiest and raise tough questions for you on why you believe that you can mull over. It won't be easy work, but it is important work.

If you're an athiest, you'll be relieved to hear that you're not alone and that the feeling that your non-belief is unwelcome to society is a whole is true. It'll also give you arguments back to those inevitable discussions you'll have with passionate believers that fear for your soul. ( )
