God Delusion
I finally got around to reading Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion. I wish I hadn’t put it off.
From Wikipedia:
Dawkins writes that The God Delusion contains four “consciousness-raising” messages:
1. Atheists can be happy, balanced, moral, and intellectually fulfilled.
2. Natural selection and similar scientific theories are superior to a “God hypothesis”—the illusion of intelligent design—in explaining the living world and the cosmos.
3. Children should not be labelled by their parents’ religion. Terms like “Catholic child” or “Muslim child” should make people cringe.
4. Atheists should be proud, not apologetic, because atheism is evidence of a healthy, independent mind.
It feels weird to be an atheist now, but I feel a weight has been lifted and I have an incredible clarity. I am certainly motivated to work on my writing and comedy – if this is all there is, than I don’t want to spend this life in a factory.
