The God Delusion

The God Delusion I believe that religion is, and has bottle necked the possible scientific, medical, and technological advancement of mankind. Let’s take a water bottle to present an illustration of how religion represents itself to me. The water in the bottle is representing said advancements of mankind. While the neck of the bottle shall represent religion. Last, the body of the bottle represents mankind. When you try to make a stream of water flow out of the bottle with the bottleneck attached

The God Delusion Report The God Delusion is a theoretical work by Richard Dawkins criticizing religion. He introduces it as a book solely dedicated to disproving any God or gods in any religion as a whole, which makes it somewhat odd how in the last few chapters he begins focusing on the social effects of Christianity specifically.

including religion, luck, and belief itself, and I have a counter argument that describes why it is necessary to have strange beliefs such as religion. The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins provides an argument against strange beliefs, and he uses many books to prove each point that he makes.

He gives credit to religious people in a section called deserved respect, but he does not give

read the god delusion by Richard Dawkins for my book review, it has been on my reading list for a while, so now is the perfect opportunity. For each chapter, Dawkins gives different views and arguments on topics like non-religious believers, religion and its relation to historical people, why there is no god, the roots of religion, morals surrounding religion, child indoctrination, and to stray away from religion.

In conclusion I have found this a very interesting research activity. Not for the first time have I had to pick up Dawkins’ ‘The God Delusion’ and fight to get past chapter two!

Testament December 5, 2016 God Behaving Badly Paper Dear Richard Dawkins, I would like to start this paper by formally saying thank you. Thank you for showing me just how small minded and foolish human beings are cable of being. In your book “The God Delusion”, you discussed the bible, specifically the Old Testament, as immoral and should not be used as a moral compass for people to use to give them a sense of direction in their life. Also, you mention the “God character” in the story

Dawkins, Richard. The God Delusion. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Co, 2006. – Chapter 2 What Richard Dawkins is trying to say in this piece of superb rhetoric is that if you’ve read the Old Testament that god is a horrendous monster. He regards the god of the Old Testament as the “worst character in all fiction” and when he says fiction it is an statement to show that he himself does not believe in a god.

discourages independent thought and ideas, religion is in direct opposition with science and is a set-back in progress, and religion is a dangerous utility in the hands of influential fundamentalist groups and extremists. (The Root of All Evil- The God Delusion) Additionally, many other critical thinkers such as Sam Harris, Stephen Jay Gould, and Christopher Hitchens support and contribute to Dawkins’ ideas.
