The God Delusion

[justin]

I enjoyed it. He vocalized points that I thought about for a while and it was nice to read his views. These days if I ever read a book dealing with refuting religion it is a hitchens book. I think it is relative to when and what was exposed to you at what time in your life. Some people have been atheists all of their life, but I have not. Diving into reflection about what I value and believe was a very important time in my life. Dawkins book was new to me and helped in some ways get my life together, though not just him. Losing my religion helped me become more responsible, moral, curious, and to some extent intelligent compared to back then. His book is still good and makes good points but I have heard them before and have found a lot more interesting points. I also have a passion for biology and for the most part always will. Because of this I can look up to him in more a scientific mind more than anything. His books turned me on to other authors like Ridley, shubin, hithcens, harris, etc. He jump started a lot for me so because of that I have a certain respect and thankful view of him, but I know others may not have had the same experience so they would not hold him to the same value.
