  many times on this forum i see the word "god" and i think " so many people have so many gods".

  i would like to know how you define the word "god" .

  i am not asking if you believe in one, so please don't hit me over the head with verses and things you've heard from others, just speak from self please .

  a) I really really really like that link/site you provided. I needed that more than you could know.

  b) What is the definition of God? Well according to some online philosophy test I did a while back, my definition of God doesn't match up with the average definition. That being something like:

  an invisible being which is all omni everything and butts his/her nose into everything etc.

  My definition seems to change on a daily basis and truthfully at this point, a really large part of me is beginning to not care.

  The God Delusion

  i've been wanting to post this for awhile, but didn't.. i said something about a year ago in regards to dawkins that i have to retract.

  i had made a comment re him which was just rude and made more likely out of being scared or possibly just plain ignorance.

  can't find it, but it's quite possible that some might recall it.

  Diamondblue, interesting. That is exactly the opinion I had before starting to read the book! lol ...

  I think because it's religion, any kind of criticism looks harsh because... well, the topic is religion, and that's it.

  Yeah, this is the point he basically makes in the beginning. And it was an eye opener for me. It opened a door to how I was thinking things through.

  Awakened: Yeah, I've seen that listed online, but my library doesn't have it...Yet. Thank you for the links.

  Gopher, hey there! No problem. And ya know I was amazed at some of the stuff I learned about how atheists have been treated so badly. Through the GD I was able to locate a few really interesting websites for atheists. I'll see if I can find them and post them later.

  i found it as preachy as a religious book but did appreciate a lot of the points he made.As the book went along the preachiness did ease up some. the jw's evolution book is mentioned about 3/4 thru the book.

  i do reccomend it , it is an informative read . i've not read any of Sagan's although i have had them reccomended to me.

  I haven't found it preachy. I've actually found it somewhat comical and really thought provoking. Haven't gotten that far yet. I'm in the middle right now. Sagan wrote this book that made some great points about social issues and how to reason on them. I'm going to the library this week, I can find it and get the title for you.

  He also uses humor - sometimes with a typically British 'sting' to it. I think it spices up things, although I'm sure some will be offended by it.

  YEP I love this aspect. It's that wry humor that makes you think and chuckle at the same time all the while going "BURN!" (thinking of Kelso from that 70's show)

  otwo, no problem at all. I'm already looking for his other works in my libary as well as some of Sagans.
