tion of my taste in humour :P). The book proved easier to read than I thought, many parts of it made me laugh out loud and it had many interesting stories and minor tangents.

I guess I am slightly unimpressed because I have heard many of his arguments before and I don't think they are satisfactory in the debate against God and religion. I was hoping for something more. That isn't to say that Dawkins himself could not provide further insight for each chapter, but perhaps he did not have the space in a book that is already quite long. Indeed, he did devote a lot of effort (explanation, examples) to present basic ideas, which is important.

I'm not saying that because I am not satisfied with the arguments that I don't think along the same lines. But it's hard to define religion and it is hard to define God, then argue against them in a way that is accepted by every person. There is just such a range, such disagreement, such denial of each other - that what really is the point?

I guess at the end of the day, the only conclusion I can come up with is that human beings are fallible, stubborn and blind, so of course our ultimate truths and beliefs can be the same.
