So far very interesting. I've technically been agnostic since I was 11, but always felt that that was a wishy-washy position. According to the preface, Dawkins is going to tell me why agnosticism isn't the best answer. Other stuff... he talks about the harm that organized religion can do in the world and gives some startling examples showing how. He's saying all the things I've been thinking for the past several years without having someone to specifically talk about this stuff with. Very gratifying so far to know that there are other people who have similar outlooks on life. So far the line to make me go "yeah! of course! that makes so much sense!" is when Dawkins says that children are too young to know where they stand on politics and economics, how are they capable of knowing where they stand on religion? I've personally always thought children being indoctrinated into a faith didn't give them the fair chance to grow up making their own decisions about faith and religion. I'll post a full review when I'm finished with it.
