RE: Dawkins writing kid's version of "The God Delusion" - you mad bro?

What about, "Your parents are lying to you"?
I know it's not technically lying, but I was trying to keep it short and snappy. "Your parents are passing on their own indoctrinated mythology" would be a tough sell.

What's the point, kids of atheist parents won't need it and religious parents won't buy it.
Not every religious parent is going to monitor their kids' Kindle content.
If the kid is old enough to own and use a Kindle that kid is old enough to read TGD.
Edit. Besides, images in Kindle don't render too well.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

I thought Dawkins was dead and was amazed that he was ghost writing.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

You think a ghost would write a book that dismisses the supernatural?
Just means he faked his death.

Just means he faked his death.
What if he's already dead and is faking his life?

No, he left biology and entered making money on gullible people industry. His books contain his own made up version of theology so he can trash it.

I guess a dumbed-down version would be his logical next step. Kids and teenagers aren't as critical and believe nonsense more easily.
You know, every single one of the critics was a hard line christian.
Best argument I've found against god yet, if he existed he wouldn't allow the men and women he put in charge (priests, ministers, imams, rabbis, nuns &c) rape and murder children and infants.
Oh, and on your last bit, why the fuck do you think all religions (including your own) insist on controlling education? Damned as nonsense by your own words.

I think that current culture demands that his head needs to be removed.
