I am currently reading Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion", which is turning out to be a stunning indictment of religion and the evils it has wrought upon our world. Dawkins makes some very cogent arguments about why "there almost certainly is no God". In his book, he refers to Thomas Jefferson several times, noting that Jefferson felt traditional Christianity was a threat to the newly-founded Republic.Reading Dawkins, however, I wonder if killing our gods is psychologically feasible for many of us at all...so deeply entrenched in our collective minds is the concept of an intelligent "superintendent of our Universe". |
