Anybody want to debate the book The God Delusion?

Post #1

Post by otseng »

I finally got a copy of The God Delusion by Dawkins from the library. And as I was reading it, I was thinking that I'd love to debate this book. Anybody want to debate this book? (It'll probably be several weeks before I can engage in a debate. I'd like to finish the current debate on Nature's Destiny first.)

I've read TGD and would like a crack. I think it would be better fodder than Nature's Destiny. Hey - guess what - TGD - I don't think it is that great a book. 8-)

I'll join in. I don't have a copy yet. I'll get one.
It is a first class human tragedy that people of the earth who claim to believe in the message of Jesus, whom they describe as the Prince of Peace, show little of that belief in actual practice.

How about let's shoot for May 1? That'll give me some time to finish the Nature's Destiny thread and to finish reading TGD.

C'mon, we need more debaters for this book. All you atheists should be excited about debating this book. O:)
