"The God Delusion" should be required reading in all schools

category international | arts and media | opinion/analysis author Thursday October 05, 2006 17:07author by Book Reader Report this post to the editors

Richard Dawkins kicks Religion in the balls and nails the lid on its coffin

A tour de force literary performance from Dawkins

Dawkins is considered one of the towering intellects of our time.

In his books he goes through the familiar theological justifications for the existence of the supernatural and systematically demolishes them.

He then proceeds to explain the utter improbability of the existence of God and explains how destructice religious phenomenon of any type has been through human history.

In an age when secular values are beseiged on all sides by obscurantist bullies, raging fanatics and the dark marching orc armies of the ignorant this is a timely book.

Buy this book and read it aloud to your friends even if they have their fingers in their ears.

If you are of a non confrontational mind you will enjoy a cracking read and a self-satisfied chuckle at the staggering stupidity of the majority of mankind
