Have just started reading 'The God Delusion'...its only a matter of pages before he calls people who belive in God as stupid and brain dead...lol...he is not the most eloquent..but I'll read all of it before judging

Anyone any thoughts on this book.

ps fundmentally I agree with his views so far

I think of all of Dawkins books I've read and programs I've seen. The book "The Ancestor's Tale: A Pilgrimage to the Dawn of Evolution" is my favourite. Well worth a read IMHO. The Selfish Gene is well up there too.
