Has anyone read "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins? Did it open your eyes about religious dogma?

I haven't yet, but plan to. It won't open my eyes about religious dogma; they've been wide open for some time now. But I'm still interested in reading it.

I read it a week or two ago. I've never been religious or particularly fond of religion anyway, so I wouldn't say it opened my eyes exactly, but it was an interesting read - well written and much more eloquent than I was led to believe. I kind of went into it expecting a 400 page rant and was pleasantly surprised.

Yes and it gave me a few new perspectives but nothing radically new. Well written though!
-
No. I have read small portions of what Mr.Dawkins has to say and his veiwpoints on religion though. I pray that Richard Dawkins may be saved. I believe that he is a very misled man. I hope that this is helpful. -In the Master's service. Thank you and God bless you!

It gave me new insights into a few things, that's certian. It really was a marvelous book, I thought. But it didn't teach me much I didn't know, I must say. But still, again, very good read.

A good book by a brave man. Another: "I Am A Strange Loop" by Douglas Hofstadter. Dogma entrances by stifling doubt. Science advances by finding things out.

Yes, I've read the book. It mostly put into words & organised thoughts about what I already suspected. And further cemented my beliefs. 'The Selfish Gene' by the same author is a great read too! (well at least in mho :)
-
yes i have. it convinced me even further that religion and the belief in god are just about control and completely ridiculous. great book!
