int he famous words of Douglas Adams
is'nt it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe there are fairys at the bottom of it too?
In other words, why does it need a meaning
And that question is exactly why religion was invented my friend

Man, thats where.
Men seek power, no matter original intentions men will continue to seek power. I would say society is the biggest problem rather than Religion.
This is why the 1984 model would work somewhat because there is no longer a way to change classes, people stop seeking power.
If as people we didnt have an urge or drive to better our position and control then we wouldn't have the eveils of religion.
You will find that matabele and I actually agree about organised religion, we both despise it because it has become corrupt by the men who preach it

Winging it
I will say Dawkins came across as close-minded last Sunday in 'Root of all Evil'. The fact that I almost agree with everything he says doesn't hide the fact that he was arragant, rude and pushy with church elders, despite his claims that he is not. He is not exactly my idea of the cause's champion.

The funny thing is that I don't believe in the God that Dawkins doesn't believe in either!!!!
That statement quite clearly shows how little you understand his deabte.
Dawkins and a lot of others use the word god, but not in a supernatural sense
Essentially Dawkins argument is against a "supernatural" god. He rather instead see's nature as "god"
You guys do a lot of finger pointing and belief bashing without actually reading it or listening to him. What you know of Dawkins are cherry picked quotes taken out of context. Like I have said
Read the book then we will discuss it. I am up to chapter 2
