About this ebook

'Timely, impassioned and brilliantly argued' Rod Liddle, Sunday Times

'A spirited and exhilarating read' Joan Bakewell, Guardian

Dawkins attacks God in all his forms.

He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry and abuses children.

The God Delusion is a brilliantly argued, fascinating polemic that will be required reading for anyone interested in this most emotional and important subject.

This book should be removed from the public sphere as the bigotry it is.Its one long tract citing a retarded view of religion,its historicity&practice.For an alleged scientist to project an argument without fact nevermind lies perversely utilizing victims,historical&contemporary to advance a crazed rant,is criminal.Literally.What religion started world war ii?Stalinism?Pol pots regime?colonialism?Are all sex offenders theists?50% are atheist.The BRITISH EMPIRE,Dutch,French,Spanish etc colonized the globe which translates as territory grab&rape,pillage,genocide&a belief the monarch the embodiment of the divine SIR Dawkins.Ask the Sioux,Cheyenne,Cherokee,was colonialism religiously motivated?No,unless you count the 1000 year prima notte evil of royalism illegal under U.S. law since.Ask Jews,Muslims,Cambodians,Russians,Africans,Chinese,Australian!Was it a religious experience for you?Scientists are by nature empiricists,he is a dumb propagandist not the scientist-revisionist insinuated.

Allah says in the quran, And no sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord except that they turn away therefrom. (6:4) For they had denied the truth when it came to them, but there is going to reach them the news of what they used to ridicule. *Quran (6:5)

most of Dawkins books failed to give you the concrete answer about the non-existence of God. He picks on facts created by those who wanted to believe that God is not real. So, what's the difference with those theists? Same old. Every thing exists for a reason. But we are still not very sure about it.
