  The Dawkins Delusion

  by brotherdan in

  so, i recently finished reading "the god delusion" by richard dawkins.

  i read it with a certain amount of hesitation.

  after all, i am still recovering from my disappointment at realizing that the wts is not god's organization.

  So what is your definition of faith, if Dawkins definition is incorrect?

  Great thread, i've just started to read The God Delusion myself so was interested in what you had to say on it. I am finding myself disagreeing with some of the things that Richard Dawkins has said. I really want to challenge my conceptions of God after having spent a few years trying to create my own definition of what God is. I guess at the moment i'm what Dawkins calls a Pantheist, that the universe and God are one, but not necessarily something existential.

  I'm interested in a comment you made in your opening post BrotherDan,

  Dawkins criticism of religion revolves around his view of "blind faith". Almost all of his arguments are based arounnd this claim of faith. If he accepted the CORRECT definition of faith, he woul dhave to completely change or at least seriously reconsider his views on so much in his book. How scientific is Dawkins actually being in his analysis? I have say, "Not at all!"

  What in your opinion is the correct definition of faith?

  dear ones.

  rather, it is our adversary who says we will do anything... anything... to avoid it.

  a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g. even curse god to his face.
