It really is a joke just how easy it is to 'refute' the other position from our own, isn't it? Meh, no one should waste their time reading something just for the sake of dismissing it as planned. But why go through that charade? I haven't read the bible or the koran or the book of mormon or The God Delusion either. Why should I, I'm not really interested. If the God Delusion doesn't really interest you, why bother?  Quote:Atheists philosophers refuted it. It's a joke.Nope

I think that CL already read "The God Delusion" if she's reading posts on this forum for so many years, at least when it comes to arguments.
From what I remember the arguments in the book are how evolution debunks Christianity; how Old Testament is violent along with God and Moses and some other figures; how NT is also violent; how prayer doesn't work; some stuff about how science and religion contradict each-other; some views on scientists in the past that were supposedly religious; god of the gaps and some views on origins of religion.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
