Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion)

I like Dawkins' "The God Delusion" better. It is very well written. I did like Sam Harris' "The End of Faith", but he got a bit new agey at the end.

I haven't read the God Delusion yet (I'm hopefully getting it for Christmas) but I suspect Dawkins is going to be more persuasive for me having read some of his other books and knowing his scientific background. Of course I don't need much persuasion as I've been an atheist long before these little gems came out. I remember worshipping The Selfish Gene when I read it as a college freshman, and it doesn't surprise me that Dawkins has taken this next step.

Neither.
George Smith "Atheism - The case against God". Is the most persuasive I have read.
I believe Sam H. learned from a lot from him.
Richard D. is a little over the top.

Both men are intellectually brilliant and persuasive. But I found Harris to be the most entertaining. He had me laughing my head off.

Neither. They both have a lot of bitterness toward God and choose to express it to the owrld.
