Amazing book. The more you study about the history religion, the less impressive it becomes

[manhunt48]

That's right. . . do the normal thing you people do and totally ignore the point that's made and reinforce the stereotype of how dishonest you are.

Oh and predicting that people will wise up to the bullshit eventually isn't exactly a great thing. . . Nearly every religion says that. . . are they all right?. . .No. . .

ILL DEBATE ANY OF U IDIOTS ON THE BIBLE AND THAT JESUS IS GOD AND IS VERY VERY GOOD.

THE RULES ARE NO LOGICAL FALLACIES, AND NO RUNNING AWAY

evolution doesnt disprove God anymore than gravity or general relativity could for Newton or Einstein?!!

Read Newton's Mathematica Principia. He expected law in nature because he believed in a Law Giver (and declared the glory of God in that discovery)!.

Einstein could not see how the universe could be comprehensible without a creator He declared, "The deeper one penetrates into nature’s secrets, the greater becomes one’s respect for God.” (Einstein, as cited in Brian 1996, 119).

what brings out the best in any god is that there is no god . if i run around killing people and say the devil made me do it. You ll call me crazy and lock me up , but if i talk to a happy friendly guy in my head im a good sane person. yeah right .

I doubt this man has any answers. My experience is the more they ramble the less they know .

actually it's the complete opposite, the more you study religion, the more you get to the roots of our beginings. Spirituality is at the begining before the detrimental religious distortions. When you are at the begining it's a most beautiful and much more exiting story. Shit, it's where we pulled the oldest and longest kept integral part of human history from.

God as he/she/it is percieved by humans is becoming more compassionate all the time. In that respect God is growing up. Attempts to make God go away will likely arouse anger in people, thus making God more angry.

His first book, The Moral Animal, was nothing but page fluff. This book seems to be more of the same. If you want to see a real “evolution” of God, watch the 13-minute video “Evolution of Christ” to see reality.

[TheGodofWarmars]

All people want power, when people belive in god beleve they have power and people how argue think they lose power if god exists people become defensive when you remove power.

[masterkung1231]

Evolution happened! At least I believe it did. It just seems more logical if you ask me cuz religions just say "God created everything" and there is no proof that the bible is real, it could be all made up.

@ComingSoon1984 that's not what he was saying with the book at all. He was saying the more you study it, the more imperitve it becomes to the future of the human race. He's saying we NEED religion. We need a better one. The best one, so that we can become our best selves.
