I thought it was. Then again...I think that about most things, including theoretical physics and pizza. Complex isn't the same as hard to understand, it just takes longer to appreciate.
So, now I've 'started,' what am I supposed to read after this?

Perhaps the subject addressed by the book is complex, rather than the book itself? The book is certainly not complex. Its message is obvious as soon as you read the title.

I did not read it when I was still a Christian, and I doubt I would have agreed with the premise if I hadn't already been a slipping agnostic by the time I did.

Oh yeah, welcome aboard new guy.

Did I say that you were stupid? I did not... I only said that it's not particularly complicated (there isn't much to parse). Were I to compare it to video games: it would not be Dwarf Fortress... but Civilization. The only thing unfortunate is that you apparently don't realize this... hence the 'you're just starting' comment.

Prefer simple things with enormous depth, myself.

Everything that there is to read. You'll never finish, I reckon.

The subject addressed by the book is pretty one-dimensional, and very straightforward. Like a long narrow tunnel between two states... 'the big picture' can be seen only through the microscope.

Meh, I think Dawkins should stick to biology. He's good at that

I was expecting Jessica Rabbit. I guess that's a tough comparison.

Richard Dawkins arguments are all worn out and in the trash already. waste of time addressing those... although we could do with someone to list the answers...

So you're hired!

Pick up a pen from the orangutan at the desk.

Well then, I think we're in perfect agreement. XD Only you say it way better/actually know what you're talking about.

Oh come off it, I insulted you proper-like! And then, as any proper lady should: I pretended I didn't insult you. Whilst insulting you further!

Miss Direction's my name, welcoming newbies is a fun game!

Seriously, though... welcome
