The Gawd Delusion

[dreamer_easy]

Yesterday I read the Harpers review of Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion. I am still flinching from reading the book, but if the review is accurate, Dawkins has made some embarrassingly basic cockups of fact and logic, some of which even I could have pointed out. I commented recently on how infuriating it is to be derided, or to see someone derided, on the basis of strawmen. I think I'd better wait to read the book until the dentist has made me that appliance to stop me grinding my teeth.

I have that gut resonse - "Get off my side!" Then I realise that, as a religious person, I'm not on his side.

Well, he defines his side as the rational intellectual one. So most people are automatically going to assume they're on it.
