The God delusion exceeds my expections a bit. Maybe it's because atheists don't refer to it often, while theists are quick to bash it. He is writing rather brief on complex matters, but overall it isn't as overly agressive as is often suggested, although I've yet to read the parts that may be more offensive to Christians. Is there anybody here who did read it?
I read the God Delusion, and was very disappointed. It doesn't seem to say much of interest, and he does the most appalling job of dealing with 'proofs' for the existence of God. Were I a Christian, I would come away convinced that he was incapable of refuting the traditional Christian arguments, and so didn't really try.
A lot of the rest of the book just seemed to be moaning and pointless anecdotes. He should have just taken the 'Why there is almost certainly no God' chapter and published it as an article about why he doesn't believe in God, and thrown the rest of the book away. I suppose it's probably made him more money than his more interesting books, though.
