The Dawkins Delusion?

Does anybody take this guy seriously?

If you have read his book: "The God Delusion" you would surely know that it is full of logical fallacies. Well written though - I’ll give him that. Richard is a writer but not a thinker. Oh, the world will say he is very clever  - he is clever by the world's standards. But Richard Dawkins is self-deceived and a deceiver. Is a person really clever if they use every ounce of their cleverness to ignore, distort, caricature and deny the truth?

If you are someone who has read any of Dawkin's books or seen him in debates and are switched on and thinking for yourself, you would surely see that Dawkins regularly sets up a weak version - a straw man - of Christianity and then attacks it with great success.

If you are not a believer in God but are not 100 % convinced either way, may I invite you to do three things about Richard Dawkins so that you are NOT deluded by him:

1) Watch the debate between him and John Lennox on youtube one evening.

2) Buy and read the book: Dealing with Dawkins by John Blanchard.

3) Try to pray to God and ask him to help you to believe (Mark 9:29).

* 'Perfect for our sceptical times, this book will demonstrate to any open-minded reader that, contrary to Dawkins' atheistic claims, biblical Christianity is reliable and relevant, powerful and persuasive.' --Prof. Edgar Andrews, BSc, PhD, Dsc., FlnstP, FIMMM, CEng, CPhys., Emeritus Professor of Materials at the University of London.

The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person's actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position thereby not actually proving anything.
