"The God Delusion"

[javaguru]

"Richard Dawkins reads excerpts from The God Delusion and anwsers questions at Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg, Virginia on October 23, 2006. This Q&A features many questions from Jerry Falwell's Liberty 'University' students."

It's a good watch if you have an interest in theology.

I'll watch this later, but Yey!! Lestat told me about this book and I am so ordering it and hardly wait to start reading it. That one and the "The blind watchmaker" (??)

Good lecture so far...

Exactly how I feel, but I have never put enough thought into it to articulate it that well...

 

[javaguru]

In the Q&A session he makes some excellent points about cultural attitudes toward non-believers.

The videos are long and my kids dont leave me alone for longer than 2 min. I'll watch them tonight when they sleep.

At amazon they give him awsome ratings too. Seems like he is well known and respected person and he is not just a random Joe Doe talking about this subject. But, people that really need to listen to him - wont or they will just brush it off

 

[Lestat]

I love those videos, this guy is a genius.

I read the book too, its excellent. I highly reccomend it.

 

[javaguru]

He did an excellent job handling the questions from believers.

I just finished watching the first part. It was amazing. Especially the experiment done with the Israeli children and the Joshua and Jericho story. When told as it is in the Bible, they aproved of the ethnic cleansing, but when presented with different names, they disaproved it as morally wrong.
