Comments on: The Antitheism of Richard Dawkins: A Review of The God Delusion http://www.bloggernews.net/12962 High-quality English language analysis and editorial writing on the news. Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:19:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Larry http://www.bloggernews.net/12962#comment-1403090 Larry Mon, 07 Sep 2009 16:19:53 +0000 http://www.bloggernews.net/12962#comment-1403090 While researching the growth of neo-atheism I recently and reluctantly read "The God Delusion." I fully agree with John that the book is not of reason, but one of hate. Dawkins does not have any useful knowledge, experience, nor education of religions, and the book well illustrates the lack of qualifications. Neo-atheism, and the book also, claims that atheists are more intelligent than theists, and yet in the real world scientific research continues to validate that aggressiveness and intelligence are inversely related. "The God Delusion" is aggressive, and hatefully so. Thank you for the good article.

All in, the religious won't like it, the antitheists will. Which makes many intellectual discussions about its value degenerate rather quickly.

I saw no such thing in the book. It was solid in reason and to spend time explaining every point he alluded to in the book would have taken volumes.
