    Why the confusion?

    The debate is down to teh fact that there are those whose minds question. Who do not blindly accept whaty they are told but seek evidence to support a hypotheis. You speak as if all the detail is undeniable fact, but to the best of my knowledge it is not. This is what worries me most about...

    Does it matter?

    How exactly did 'he' say that as John's Gospel was written decades after the event? And if he did say that what evidence do we have that it had any truth in it?

    Does it matter?

    Why do you use quotes from a book that cannot be shown to have any basis in fact? Surely such quotes are meaningless unless you can show some evidence they they are 'the word of God'

    Facing Kaaba

    Am I not right in supposing that ALL the books upon which religions are based on were written by men, men that some have called a Prophet but men none the less? Perhaps in a thousand years time L Ron Hubbard will be seen as a prophet.

    Is Theism A Functional Delusion?

    For the most part for me it comes down to how it affects others. I believe we all live in delusion as we create our owm 'map' of reality and the map is not the territory. If the delusion helps you to have a happy life then there is something to be said for it assuming that you subscribe to...

    The End Of Faith?

    Have you read his book or a review of it? No but it is the next on my reading list after I finish Dawkins 'The God Delusion' As for his conclusions I would ask that you grant me leave to not comment as until I have read it I cannot be certain that your conclusion are the same as mine! To...

    A question for all belivers

    Sadly Dr Dawkins does not go into detail on the question of Gnome Gnapping, but my mind is ever open so I would be interested to know more. As for my flippant remark about 'the faithful' those who get to know me know I will throw stones in puddles to see what kind of ripples they make!

    A question for all belivers

    How wrongly he has been represented then!! I get no sense of 'my way is the only way' (though I have not yet finished the book). His point is that we have the power to reason and evaluate and that religion does not stand up to reason and evaluation. The faithful tell us that the Bible is...

    A question for all belivers

    Of course the time argument is a valid one. I have decided never to struggle with a book again as there are too many out there to get through to be struggling with one that I am not enjoying! As for his style, I am not a huge fan, but he is thorough in giving the reasoning/evidence behind his...

    A question for all belivers

    Are you open minded enough to read Richard Dawkins 'The God Delusion'? Could you, given that you know at the outset that it sets out to show the paucity of reason/evidence behind all religions? Or will you dismiss it without having evaluated the ideas put forward?

    Good Evening all

    I have found my way here as I am becoming more and more concerned at the rising power of fundamentalist religion in both the Middle East and America. But my view is you do not overcome such threats by ignoring them rather shining a light of reason where there is the darkness of closed...

    One Path , Or Many ?

    There are many paths (none of which are proven) to an end for which there is no evidence, only faith?

    Proof Against Evolution

    also why is it that Christians will demand 'proof' of evolution but provide none for the God Hypothesis?
