I'm 10% done with The God Delusion: So far I am loving this listen. He mentions how being an atheist is the least tolerated thing to be in the US. Maybe slightly above child molesters? I hope? That we cannot admit to anyone we are atheists. True. Just bow your head and say grace, dummy!.

And I wonder how I raised a child who could grow up to accept such nonsense. Perhaps it is at least partially to get along too.
I am still listening to Dawkins. What I hate about most or all religions is the assumption that those of whatever religion are the chosen and if you don't believe you are less than and are damned. I suppose it is what keeps people in those religions, believing in a hereafter of some kind and that only the believers get to go. It makes me wonder if anyone of those so called believers actually read the Bible and all it's inconsistencies. They do pick and choose the parts to believe. Did they ever actually read the words and deeds of Jesus, in the case of Christians? The actions and stated beliefs of most who call themselves Christians lead me to surmise not. (less)

Hasn't lack of belief in God, as an ideology, caused the murder of more people in the past 100 years than religion in 2,000 years? Where are the atheist hospitals and atheist ministers to the disadvantaged of the world?

This writing about the irrelevance of God to man and the evil of religion will continue because man had fallen from 'Grace of God' that is made available to all men . Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion, portrays the atheist heart; and has gained a scholar's credence. Where lies the Love of God?

Vicki Hyatt Which god? I don't believe in the Christian white, blue eyed, white hair and beard god. There are many gods from many religions. It seems like what yo…moreWhich god? I don't believe in the Christian white, blue eyed, white hair and beard god. There are many gods from many religions. It seems like what you are saying is that you have to love "your" god. I'm not buying it. (less)
