I've read a little bit of it and watched his tv series (those 2 episodes that he made).

Richard Dawkins has some good points and is on the right track but he just isn't the one to do it. Just to aggressive in the way that he talks to others and makes himself look intimidated at times.

However, the book was still fairly good if you are into that kind of stuff.

That's just my opinion, anyone else read it?

I haven't read the book, neither do I plan to.
I, personally do not believe in God, and I play World of Warcraft, but I don't worship it. Anybody who worships a game has got to get a life.

Your suppose to believe. No one knows if God is real or not. No one can prove it. But there are much other religions who believe in more then one God or no god. How do we know we chose the right religion? Never know, You believe what one is right for you.

Btw, What tv series are on this? I want to see it Very Happy
Sounds interesting.

Doesn't a god or stand for helping the poor and helpless?
Then why are there so many thousands of death, only because of religious conflicts.
also if a god would exist, why do so many people die of natural cathastrophys, wars, etc.

People made up the idea of god when they had a bad situation. then suddenly something unexpected happend and they started to believe in the god.

Thats the thing. God doesn't help us. We have our decision to do things. God wouldn't help us, Its us who have to help others.

I've got that in a psytrance song, i just dont buy into religion until i see hard evidence that a god exists.

There will never be evidence. Even so, Don't think the government will let that get out. If there was no god. What do you think other people would be doing?

Everything below explains my arguement against religion, and more specifically christianity:














(Please note i am not a Nazi, the observation is that with WWII, and countless wars in the past related to religion have reached millions dead.)





Youtube video (please watch, it is very interesting):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT-mrvrPJIs

0.01% chance that you're chosen god is the "correct" one.



I simply cannot understand how anyone in this day and age is still buying into religion, which i suppose is from the fear that humans have of dying.
