The Magician and Juggler Penn Gillette suggested on his radio show an argument against Pascals Wager. If you believe in the wrong god then would the real god could be more angry with you than if you had not believed at all which is an argument that we should all be atheist.

Ah yes, I see the link now:

I chuckled when I saw the Dawkins Delusion in the Christian bookstore.

But perhaps the relationship is less like a host and paracite and more symbiotic. Surely people who were planning on buying the God Delusion don't buy these new books instead so the new books existance can only help sales of the origional book.

Also would Richard Dawkins be quite so famous if every one had responded, "oh yes, you are quite right" instead of disagreeing quite so strongly. So perhaps Dawkins would not exist if people did not disagree with him?

I can see the only solution here is to trade mark the name "Dawkins" but I don't seem to be able to find "religion" under the list of approved services.

Is Richard Dawkins a flea trainer? I don't understand why everyone thinks flea circuses have anything to do with religion.
