Dawkins-If Religion worked like science....

RE: Dawkins-If Religion worked like science....
Quote:I'm not being sarcastic-but it seems pretty hardcore for a layman's book on atheism. So what would you recommend for more hardcore atheism reading?? Because I've read both of Sam Harris's books.

Not really. When I read it, it nearly made me become an Agnostic Deist. But its rather weak. He attempts to dismantle the ontological argument (very poorly) He spends too much time attacking fundamentalism than being a storng book. He starts with saying there could be a God and then ends with saying anyone who believes in God is as irrational as an 8 year old.
Dont get me wrong, he is a great scientists, I have a lot of respect for him, but when he comes to Apologetics and philosophy, its too simplistic and rushed to be powerful...
Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.

You dont hate God, you hate the church game.

"God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand you have failed." Saint Augustine

Your mind works very simply: you are either trying to find out what are God's laws in order to follow them; or you are trying to outsmart Him. -Martin H. Fischer
