Is there a God?

Well Richard Dawkins doesn't think so and I'm inclined to agree with him. Not his usual standard of writing but a definite eye-opener to people who are on the fence about religion. He says on the back that his view point is unbiased - which obviously it isn't as he is dead against religion. However, it's got some classic quotes in it like "you'll never hear of someone blowing up a building in the name of Atheism!"

If you are religious then you might want to skip this as he presents a great deal of good/logical arguments about why people shouldn't believe in religion including a chapter called "Why God Almost Certainly Doesn't Exist". The retorts from every religeous person/elder/priest/bishop etc is always flawed (in Dawkins view) and essentially revolve around "I don't need proof - I've got faith".

If you are open minded about the possibility of religion being something that has been superceeded by science then have a read. If not then I suppose it doesn't matter what's in this book as it won't change your mind - as Dawkins says "If I believe in a scientific fact for years and then someone presents data to proove it otherwise then I change my belief. Why doesn't that happen in religion?"
