As The God Delusion is about religion and not just Christianity, I wonder if we can expect more of this kind of promotion that includes Islam. Hope so!!

Nah...They aint got the balls.

Scared shit of Islam I bet!
Just have a go at those who won't burn your shop down, cowards.

I got the Audible book and voted for Richard in the poll.

If you join Audible you can get a couple of free books and you can cancel any time (basic account)

I tend to get one a month.

Infidel was not available last time I looked though Cyboman.

Salanor,
I think you are letting your Communist ideals get in the way of the poison of religion - grow up!

82abhilash - your commennts make sense if you replace the word "moderate" with coward.

JemyM,
Islam does not 'differ plenty' enough for me.
Christianity does though.

Plenty of forum members here often speak kindly of these "moderate" Muslims, but I have yet to hear or see one. Perhaps they can shed some light on this?

Thanks for the link - a good interview.

The Portable Atheist is a great read. You can pick it up and start anywhere. I like Richard's Gerin Oil bit

I welcome anyone who speaks against religion... we all piss in the same pot.

Talking of the Sex Pistols - they banged a few tables and changed the smug and comfortable music buisness for one.

Enough room for us all methinks!

There are a few around here who I can only describe as sanctimonious snobs and think that an aversion to fairy tales, superstition, and dogma etc, can be expressed only in an 'intellectual' manner.

Indeed there are those here who seem to prefer to project their own 'superior smart arse intelligence' (whatever that is) and wallow in their own smugness, rather than addressing the problem of religious belief, endemic in all of society today. Even "high school jag-offs" - whatever they are- can participate and contribute.
Nothing wrong with polite discussion BTW.

The "man in the street" (I can't think of a better phrase – maybe I'm not educated enough?) could well be put off atheism, thinking he needs a fucking degree in philosophy to feel at home around here sometimes.

You must be diverse enough to appeal to all sections of society, otherwise there is a danger you will disappear right up your own arseholes left only to contemplate your own IQs.

Thanks for the link



scooternyc,
I wouldn't draw a comparison between 'the existence of a God wager' and concern for the planet. The former is totally selfish and dishonest - while the latter is based on genuine well-being and security of all.
