I've just picked up The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins to read whilst I'm on holiday. Whilst I don't really take Dawkins seriously, and I am a theist (that is "a theist" not "atheist") it'll be interesting to read his point of view - I do hope he goes off on a rant regularly in the book!

Of course, fundamentalists tell me I go to hell, which is worse. ... ... the World with Words by John Man (we had a chuckle about the fact that this guy really IS Mr. Man)

Then a visit to our favorite Indian food restaurant, homeward, and bedward. Night all! I am in the middle of reading The God Delusion and even while I'm agreeing with just about everything he's saying I'm thinking 'This Dawkins is a know-it-all putz.' I appreciate that he and Harris and Hitchens are out there on the front-line, but sheesh. Can't they be a little less offensive? Actu ... ... ond

I haven't yet decided on my living room/bedroom book. Popped The God Delusion onto my iPod this morning to listen to while I mowed the lawn. ... quality literature is what prevents me from enjoying these books. I had thought it would be something to do with books like The God Delusion but that one doesn't show up on a single one of my "Why?" lists.
I found God is Not Great very compelling - I also read The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins this year and I must say they are two books that have changed my thinking - in that they gave some focus to what I obviously really believed. I do find well thought out logic hard to argue with. There ... ... my computer then being reading by 10:30 and finish by 12:30 am the following morning.

The Psalmist specifically says "You (God) knit me together in my mother's womb."
So now you know. #36 Richard Dawkins writes about the connection between evolution and religion in The God delusion. He says humans are basically programmed to believe what authorative figures (parents, elders, politicians) tell them, because it is a quicker way to learn than through experience. You don't have to ... #6^

That's a nifty idea. My Top 5 for 2006 looks like this:

It was good at the beginning, then I felt it sort just said the same thing over and over, which I know is the point ... 17. The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. Steamed through this one - it's an extraordinary book, and incredibly readable too. ... The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon, weirdly wonderful. Still dipping in and out of Richard Dawkins The God Delusion, not as gripped as I was for the first half. Hence I've diverted into Kevin Kelly's New Rules for the New Economy, which feels a bit dated ten years ... ... but by boyfriend grew up in the US and the book would probably interest him. I know there are allusions to this subject in The God Delusion which we have both read (i.e. that despite the history of the US colonies founded on religious principles, the country itself was not established that way, ... So I kind of flaked on The God Delusion- I think I'm still feeling too frazzled for anything more than light reading. At least the library's letting me keep it for a while longer. In the meantime-
