Richard Dawkins wrote in "The God Delusion" that he admits that there could be a god, it's just that he considers it extremely unlikely.

Actually, I've stated before that if I'm wrong, will it matter...I'll just be, well dead. At least I'll have lived believing in something Greater than myself, and if I take comfort in that, will it affect me once I'm dirt~if I'm wrong. If I'm right....which I do think I am...then I'll live eternally. Hmmm...dirt...or eternity....what a toughy.
If your wrong, well I hope you like it HOT, cause I don't think they have central air in HELL.

A true Christian has had a personal relationship with Christ. A conversion, a leap of faith, a spiritual encounter that are difficult if not impossible to reverse one's mind about at a later date. Richard Dawkins can consider it unlikely that God exists, but for those who have discovered God (through Christ particularly) for themselves, there is simply no going back or need for saying they were wrong. Truth itself, once found, cannot then be said to be error.

So he's an Agnostic! I suppose that the has written too many books to be honest though. I understand that writing books can do that to you.

I don't believe in the teachings of any church, I can't stand anyone who gets all excited telling me their God is the one true god and they'd be willing to sacrifice a bunch of teenagers for it.These are the kind of people have an enormous flag on their lawn and yellow ribbons on their cars saying we support our troops. I was atroop 37 years ago. Send these troops a case of water some toilet paper, some packs of cookies or packs of applesauce. It's 125 degrees in the shade and they are rationed on their water, their hungry and they only get a tiny bit of tp. Thats how I support the troops. Not with a ribbon I don't knoe one Vet who ever got any ribbon money.
Patriotism is the last outpost of a scoundrel, religion is later

Even True Christians Are Not Infalliable. But When It Comes To God Matters, We Are Usually Right.
Praise Jesus

If you had experienced what I have, as most true Christians, you would not believe, you would know that God is God and Jesus is Lord. It is an amazing truth and not one doubt.
Ask me to explain details about the Bible and I will need time to see if I can explain, maybe I can and maybe I can't.
But nothing changes the fact that He is.

I guess that's the difference in an atheist like Dawkins and us. I'll speak for myself as a Christian, I already staked my life that I'm right. I don't believe in God and Christ, I know them to exist. Dawkins will never be as sure about his belief.

I have always wondered that. The Christians that I respect most in the world are the ones who are willing to step back and truley see where my questions is coming from and admit "I don't know. I'll have to look into a bit more." Christians tend not to do that very often though.

You or this author can't speak for all the Christians in the world. Myself being a Christian, I'm a human, and I MAKE MISTAKES LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. I'm not going to shove my beliefs down anyone's throat because that's not what God is asking me to do. If you don't belive that's you. I know what I stand for.

It is because the Christians have been infiltrated and largely overrun by Reptilian Alien Salesmen who are selling you the line! that you cannot go home unless you subscribe to them, and give up even your soul and life to them, the Evil Alien Jesus Robot orbits the planet and sucks up soul energy like a giant mosquito, turning its prey into Clones, Dittoheads, and Bush supporters, bidding them to do good works and charity but all the while sucking souls as they go into their vortex of mind-controlled Zombies of Christ, many of whom occupy positions in politics!!!!
