An interesting development.
Despite its condescending tone towards theists, I found The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins a very enjoyable read. The beginning of the second chapter made me laugh. I found Dawkins' use of humor and sarcasm to lighten the mood of an book that contained so much information. Stylistically, Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion is in a class of its own. It is to the point and flows smoothly. An essential read for any atheist.

Boy it sure does kill the whole GOP/Tea Party platform.
I'm telling Miss Julie! . . (Sombody wants a spanking!!).
Seems like you could be in danger of getting more than just your tongue stuck, to a dancing pole at the north pole . . .
Just be carefull... I had a similar discussion with my sisnlaw and it almost caused a big rift in my otherwise tightly nit family.
From the article Tommy cited.
"However, religious commentators have criticized Hawking's theorizing, saying he can never hope to explain what is essentially unexplainable."
Well doesn't that kind of invalidate their own "god" theory then? ;p
Anybody else read it? I love the basic premise, and being an atheist means I can appreciate the mythology and not get bent out of shape about the multiple deities.
Wyoming is better than the southeast, from what I've seen. It's still a solid red state, though. My big point was that there are no cities. The closest it has are Cheyenne and Casper, each of which are around 50,000 people.
The entire state barely…
I was in Panama City this past weekend, but I didn't have any free time. I was there for my brother-in-law's pinning. He was promoted to Major in the Air Force. The promotion ceremony was full of God and Jesus references, and the invocation was give…
I saw a video, or a blog post once that listed all the uncomfortable and illogical things that a person must do, according to Jesus' own words, in order to follow him. The list included hating your family, selling all your possessions, etc. I'm pret…
