Nice one RobI saw Bill Maher's Religulous the other day. Preaching to the converted somewhat but it's a whole lot better argued and enjoyable than Dawkins.

I liked the Dawkins bookit was like a very pedantic FAQ on how to argue with someone religious, "and if they say this... say that"
Which is not what I would personally do, as I'd just avoid the subject rather than have a row, but bits of it pop into my head when I hear the arguments played out day in day out in the media, internet etc.

Dawkins can get a little tedious.At least he's not too militant. I met a chemistry prof who thought that Dawkins was being far too lenient and would have anyone subscribing to a belief system shot.
