Richard Dawkins' second chapter is a rambling 43-page rant against theism. Instead of writing a real introduction about "the God hypothesis," Dawkins immediately goes into a long list of the supposed faults of Yahweh, including, jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully. And all that is just part of the first sentence! Of course, there are no attempts to substantiate any of the claims by giving examples. In fact, he must have been your teacher because you both love to point out examples where God judges those who do evil (as if we humans would never stoop so low to do such things by making laws, having police, judges and jails). How dare God judge evil... Dawkins won't tell you that the reason why God told the Israelites to wipe out entire populations was because they were burning their own children as sacrifices.... Maybe you and Mr. Dawkins would have preferred that we still have those people around so that he could offer your own sons and daughters as a burnt offering.
Dawkins throws out a statement that he doesn't even attempt to support:This book will advocate an alternative view, any creative intelligence of sufficient complexity to design anything comes to existence only as the end product of an extended process of gradual evolution... Creative intelligences, being evolved, necessarily arrive late in the universe, and therefore cannot be responsible for designing it. God, in the sense defined, is a delusion;
Well, if one assumes that everything is contingent upon the universe, then, of course, God is a delusion. However, by defining God as such, Dawkins doesn't even address the God of Christianity and Judaism, who is clearly stated as having created the entire universe. It is You and Dawkins who are delusional if you think you can define God differently from Christianity and then claim that he has disproved His existence....
