Just wondering if any of you have read this book. It was originally published in 1979. It was recently reissued with a foreword by Lawrence Krauss.
Some snippets:
He defines theist as someone who believes that a god exists. An atheist is anyone who is not a theist. There is no third position.
So true, lol.
There are 2 kinds of atheists: implicit atheists and explicit atheists. Implicit atheists may be people who are unfamiliar with theism but have not explicitly rejected the existence of god. Little children are implicit atheists. Explicit atheists believe there is no god.
My favorite line from the book so far:

Quote:Agnosticism is commonly used as a refuge for those who wish to escape the stigma of atheism...

Quote:This book is not a critique of theism plus a defense of atheism: the critique of theism is the defense of atheism.
