850 7502cc66-0c55-496f-a902-0a5529219e86 The God Delusion Richard Dawkins calibre (0.8.17) [http://calibre-ebook.com] 2006-11-14T08:00:00+00:00 <p class="description">In this book, the autor critiques God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed tyrant of the Old Testament to the more benign (but still illogical) Celestial Watchmaker favored by some Enlightenment thinkers. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry, and abuses children, buttressing his points with historical and contemporary evidence. In so doing, he makes a compelling case that belief in God is not just irrational, but potentially deadly. Dawkins has fashioned an impassioned, rigorous rebuttal to religion, to be embraced by anyone who sputters at the inconsistencies and cruelties that riddle the Bible, bristles at the inanity of 'intelligent design', or agonizes over fundamentalism in the Middle East-or Middle America.</p> Houghton Mifflin Harcourt yq1xDpicghkC 9780618680009 eng General Religion Science Atheism Controversial Literature God Irreligion
