Advantages: Great for debates and a interesting read

Disadvantages: Dawkins seems a bit arrogant

When i was younger i was a pretty devout christian, upon reaching halfway through high school and especially into sixth form where i took a ethics and religious class, i became increasingly atheist, to the point where i know think that religion is absurd. Always up for a debate i often talk to religious people about their views and try to "convert" them to atheism.

The god delusion is a book which has helped me in my thoought about religion and has given me more ammo to try and "save" religious people from their "god".

While I sometimes thought that Richard Dawkins seems a bit too arogant and obnoxious in the book it was still a great, thought provoking read that i reccomend to anyone - religious or not.

It provides many solid arguements agaisnt not only believing in religion, but also arguements agaisnt religion itself, claiming that it causes many more problems than it solves. Providing clippits from the bible and using evidence to back up his claim I dont see how a religious person could read the book and not be converted.

Although i think that may be a problem, as i think the only people who would read this book are already athiests, and not the hardcore religious fantatics i think it should have been aimed towards.

Summary: thought provoking stuff
