It is 02:37 in the morning and I am almost done with Dawkins book, The God Delusion. Which makes me think: I enjoy his writings and appreciate his understanding of biology. He is also much more apt at punctuating his beliefs in a more pleasant way than I ever could dream of. Since this is the first book of his that I am reading I am somewhat disappointed. I don't know why, but I feel as though he didn't enlighten me as much as I hoped he would. Almost everything he said was already in my head just not spelled out. Does anyone know which book of his is most complex and makes you think?
Well all his other books are about biology rather than theism. What were you looking to learn about?

I'm missing The Magic Pudding!!!!!!!!  :'(

Well the other odd people aren't posting much either, there isn't much to work with.  And there's noway I'd I ask if polar bears were known to have any political or religious affiliations, that would be in poor taste.  I doubt they'd be able to read a 1200 page manifesto, maybe they could pick up on four legs good, two legs bad, floppy flippers tasty.

Now I'm a mod I can see the IP addresses of the guests, as a matter of interest (maybe) the vast majority are Google IPs trawling the forum. The number of spammers is insane!

That sounds like you're rewarding aberrant behaviour, maybe just kick him a little but he doesn't get punished properly 'till he comes back.
Old Byron's been gone since he listed his cache of weapons and people queried the wisdom of him doing so.
No one does zombie threads like Byron.
Originalgender, I don't know how to entice him back, clever acrobatic goats stealing the pope's hat and his alter boy concubines?

When it comes to gardens I have never had 'youthful energy', my garden is the one that let's everybody else feel pleased with theirs!
