Perhaps that should have been 'In my opinion' the God delusion is pure bunk. In my opinion...if we can accept and come to terms with the fact that there is no god, we might actually start getting somewhere. So let's agree to differ, shall we?
First you say "In my opinion", and then you call "there is no god" a fact.
So which is it, opinion or fact?
Dawkins is just like so many other shysters out there. Make up some weird theory and you will have lots of people calling you 'genius' and giving you their money. You don't even really have to believe it, I don't suppose, as long as you appeal to a significant portion of 'the masses'.

Fair enough, my humble apologies to all for the inappropriate use of the 'f' word. Funny thing is though, it's not really an opinion either. It's like saying in my opinion there isn't a pink elephant sitting on the roof. Still, I'm not supposed to be talking about this here, so I'm off; good stuff though, nothing like a bit of healthy discussion...
