The religion all fundamentalist practice is the the religion of death, because only after death can the promise be delivered, what a terrible waste of life & creativity some religions can be.

I was going to get to more but thanks for the input Joe. This could get fun!

Seems to me that you are accepting Dawkins "truths" by faith.

What leads you to put so much faith in what Dawkins says?

Nope, no faith involved on this one. These statements are backed up by pure reality and evidence.

Bull**** and you know it, what aspect of faith is involved here... The faith that there is no god when no proof of god exists, piss off!

Kevin is displaying faith in the statements of a man he doesn't know and in an area of expertise he has not demonstrated any competency IMHO

Dawkins is no philosopher he just plays one on the college circuit.

He is a biologist.

Those statements could be made by your mom and I, and anyone else, would agree that they are true. It doesn't matter who is saying them. I'll ask again, are the quotes that I posted from Mr. Dawkins false? If so, which ones and why.

Was that a joke Peter? I'm not asking sarcastically. Do you believe that site proves God exists? I won't tell you that God doesn't exist, I was just curious if people actually believe that those series of thoughts actually prove the existence of God.
