I've read bits of Dennet's book. Dennet keeps apologising for daring to investigate god. (God forbid!) I don't like his non abrasive approach.That's not the scientific approach I want to read about. Start with basics. What is a God? He has to be an omniscient being. In effect, a glorious dictator. One which I wouldn't pray to and worship if he existed as He allows so much misery in the world...He's sitting on his EZboy watching his favourite soap opera turn to shit. Religion poisons everything.

Wow, a "bright" - that's not arrogant....

Wrap your noodle around this!

"Bright" strikes me as either non-descriptive or arrogant presumption.
Semantics aside, thanks for the upload!

I love Dan so much. He is one of my favorite people ever. This is what atheism needs: a nonabrasive, reasonable, approachable genius with influential ideas.
