Product Description:
In his sensational international bestseller, the preeminent scientist and outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins delivers a hard-hitting, impassioned, but humorous rebuttal of religious belief. With rigor and wit, Dawkins eviscerates the arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of the existence of a supreme being. He makes a compelling case that faith is not just irrational, but potentially deadly. In a preface written for the paperback edition, Dawkins responds to some of the controversies the book has incited. This brilliantly argued, provocative book challenges all of us to test our beliefs, no matter what beliefs we hold.

This book seems to me an attempt to provide street cred for atheists. Dawson already has that for me, because he was a friend of Doug Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide). So why three stars? Because readers may (wrongly) assume the reviewer agrees with a book if he gives it five stars. I don't agree with this book, but I yet enjoy Dawson's writing (and that of Christopher Hitchens) which, to my mind, is far clearer and readable than that of say, Daniel Dennett.
That said, I don't see any new ... Read More

I admit openly and before everyone now: I did not read the entire book. Whatever that means to you, to disregard this post or not is certainly up to you. But doesn't everyone read a little bit before purchasing a book? I sat down at the local bookstore and cracked this book for 30 minutes and since I speed-read well enough was able to digest enough of the book to know it wasn't going to get any better. I skipped around to other chapters and wasn't any more enthused.
From what I gathered, ... Read More

Dawkins is highly skilled master of terminological inexactitude whereby he briskfully overlooks the employment of primary sources in his documentation outside of the science arena.
A master revisionist historian/scientist with a finely tuned sense for highly biased selective observations. The problem is, he knows next to nothing about history, theology, or approaching life as an entity other than a robot. Naturally, this catapults him into the revisionist category.
I could easily ... Read More

It is my goal to provide an honest review of this book, as seen from my perspective. I appreciate what Dawkins says, from the viewpoint of his arguement. Dawkins also, surprisingly, admits that the existance of God is a 50/50 chance. He does, however, provide arguments for why he believes God is improbable. The book is split into two parts. The first half of the book is Dawkins' argument against religion. The second half is a scientific history of religion and a hypothesis for why it began.

To write a book about God not existing is completely morbid and sad in a way I can't describe. The pics above also are sad. That people actively try to discredit God blows my mind. What is the point? To try to take away people's hope? God is hope and love. Without God everything is completely meaningless. Might as well kill yourself now cause there's no point in living if you believe this stuff. God is real people, open your eyes and look around you.
