About God


I have few heroes I look up to, this man is one of them.
Read his book: "The God Delusion" even if out of shere curiosity.
I'm currently reading the King James Bible out of shere curiosity...
let's see where it leads...

You're a nice artist and all, but sorry, he's just not a profound thinker in this area.

There's a reason that even many of his fellow-traveler atheists and skeptics are uneasy with his shotgun approach to populist atheism .

I'm not saying he's daft. It's just the classic mistake of attributing intellectual authority to someone who is competent within their own academic discipline (biology), but very poorly read in theology and philosophy. It is embarrassing to read his ham-fisted mangling of the biblical texts and other theological texts. This village atheist pop philosophy stuff may be comforting to some people (if it helps get you thorough the day ... or sleep at night, fine, whatever ... ) , but it's not very convincing if one is not already predisposed to view these issues through the narrow-minded retro 19th century worldview that Dawkins is preaching.

Great to hear from so illustrious a person as you.
I did not have the impression Dawkins was poorly read.
As a matter of fact, some of his fellow warriors, like Dennett and Hitchens, seem to be better read in theological text than the opponents they dispute with.
Yet, they still come to the same conclusion as Dawkins.
To point out that Theism is a cultural issue and that Deism is an issue of scientific frustration with the speed of our progress is, I think, a fair one.
I guess some of the other "Horsemen"
(Dawkins, Dennett, Hitchens, Harris)
may make better reading on theological or philosophical grounds, but I still think, "The God Delusion" is an elegant book, that, according to my own research into what is being quoted, looks pretty accurate and lucid to me.
As we are lucky enough not to live in a Theocracy, we have to just agree to disagree, which, considering your intellectual standing, I am doing here with great pride.
