- Beyond Belief - The God Delusion. By Richard Dawkins
  Posted by Billbar from New York Times
  Despite the many flashes of brilliance in this book, Dawkins’s failure to appreciate just how hard philosophical questions about religion can be makes reading it an intellectually frustrating experience.

- Better living without God? / Religion is a dangerously irrational mirage, says Dawkins
  Posted by Billbar from SFGate.com
  Some will accuse Dawkins of being not just impolite but also intolerant. He is indeed a kind of crusading atheist, and makes no bones about his opposition not just to religious extremism but also to all species of religious faith -- a phenomenon he regards as fundamentally irrational and deeply dangerous. Religious moderates, he points out, have an unfortunate tendency to lend their perceived legitimacy to more extreme faith-based positions. They do this in large part by encouraging the common belief that accepting religious claims in the utter absence of evidence, and treating them as immune to rational criticism, is perfectly reasonable behavior.

- The flying spaghetti monster
  Posted by Billbar from Salon
  Why are we here on earth? To Richard Dawkins, that's a remarkably stupid question. In a heated interview, the famous biologist insists that religion is evil and God might as well be a children's fantasy.

- Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion
  Posted by Jeff from BBC News
  In The God Delusion, the scientist Richard Dawkins sets out to attack God "in all his forms". He argues that the rise of religious fundamentalism is dividing people around the world, while the dispute between "intelligent design" and Darwinism "is seriously undermining and restricting the teaching of science".

Jim Holt ravages Dawkins, but admits he doesn’t get it. Sad.
