I have to admit, I feel sorry for Dawkins, he verses these theists who completely dominate him, because he isnt a philosopher. He spends quite a bit of time looking like a stunned mullet! Poor guy.
Anyways, I dont know, I will ask him one day, when I tell him that he has made me a better Theist, a rational theist.

I have watched many debates between Dawkins and theists and you my friend are talking out of your backside.
The reason he dominates so easily is that he is better than a philosipher he is a scientist and scientists deal with evidence, philosophers use thought and "logic", and these can lead us down blind alleys, sometimes for thousands of years.
I'm thinking of the medicine here, where the balance of the bodies humurs was the key to health. Which led to the bleeding of already weakened people and other such crap and often fatal treatments.

It is easy to dismiss a delustion with critical thinking, that is why I said it has to be deeper than a dellusion...

There is a saying that scienctists are the worst philosophers...
Dawkins is not a philosophy (which is obvious) I do feel sorry for him when he goes against some of the greatest philosophers of this age (William Lane Craig)

Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.

So youre just going to repeat that he doesnt win the debates when he obviously does. In every debate I've seen him in, he answers every question in a reasoned and honest fashion and has on every occasion demolished completely the counter arguments, exposing them for the bullshit they are.
Dont get me wrong I'm not a Dawkins fan boy, but dont pretend he loses coz he wins every time.
I read the review and couldnt find the bits to get upset over, he didnt enjoy the god delusion and found the writing confrontational, well whoop de fucking do.
He did not effectively refute any of dawkins points. Not one theist has.

What a prick.
