(October 21, 2008 at 9:33 pm)Tiberius Wrote: To be perfectly honest, when the reviewer starts with the subtitle "Incurious and rambling, Richard Dawkins's diatribe against religion doesn't come close to explaining how faith has survived the assault of Darwinism" I can hardly be surprised at the attitude. The guy is a theist, and theists will always think Dawkins book is bad. Why? Because it is such a great book that explains a heck of a lot.

Ouch. I didn't even know the guy was a theist! It sounded to me like he was just one of those Atheists/Agnostics/(or even Deists) that defend Religion because they 'believe in belief'.

I didn't see him mention he was religious in the article, or that he believed in God, he even was in favour than religion can be very irrational and dangerous at times.

I didn't know he was a theist as well, interesting, now I really know why he was defending religion. What a goit.
