Richard's Dawkins' "The God Delusion"

[Bathsheba]

Great link SB... especially this: (quote by Albert Einstein, from a letter)

"The idea of a personal God is quite alien to me and seems even naive. However, I am also not a "Freethinker" in the usual sense of the word because I find that this is in the main an attitude nourished exclusively by an opposition against naive superstition. My feeling is insofar religious as I am imbued with the consciousness of the insufficiency of the human mind to understand deeply the harmony of the Universe which we try to formulate as "laws of nature." It is this consciousness and humility I miss in the Freethinker mentality." Sincerely yours, Albert Einstein.

And also supports Bon's comments about science requring faith too. I just don't see how "faith" is such a dirty word to Dawkins . But it's all very interesting. I guess if the book is a best-seller then a significant amount of people must think this way so it's always helpful to understand another majority perspective.... I just don't think the intuition/faith of billions should be discounted as a "delusion".... especially when Dawkins can't honesty claim to disprove the delusion... it just makes him out to sound arrogant by making such a blatant false claim. If I was an atheist I'd probably be quite annoyed by this book LOL kinda like how extreme religious fundamentalists annoy me... for giving religion a bad name.
