Mine didn't come with a tract in it, and I bought it used from a used book store.

Had the christian extra been an actual book I would have suggested turning around and selling the book back to the store; that way Dawkins and his publishers get the money you pay for the God Delusion, and you get to recoup some money from the christian trash you were given for free.

But, alas, I don't know if a tract is worth anything to sell back.

Quote:Do all copies of Dawkins' book come with a YEC evangelical tract or just the copy I bought? This is the question I posed on Twitter and the internationally renown biologist himself gave me a re-tweet!

That's pretty cool.

Is the tract actually stuck to the inside of the book? (It doesn't look like it is) If so, if you ever get a chance to meet Dawkins you should make sure and have him sign the page it's stuck to! Big Grin

Not a bad idea! There's a HUGE Christian bookstore around the corner from where I live (along with a hundred churches, I need to get the hell outta here), so there's a big opportunity to sow some doubt. Wink

I'm not convinced this would be a good idea; if atheists start stickering christian books with atheist memes the Christians will lose their shit, but it would probably also mean a lot of bad press for atheism. It would be a delicate situation to play to make sure atheists aren't seen as the bad guys, even if we make it known that we're following the precedent started by the Christians.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
