Subject: RE: BS: Religion=good folk doing bad things?
As an atheist I agreed with Dawkins analysis of organised religion.
ALL organised religion WYSTWYG not just Christianity.

Where the programme failed in my opinion, was that Dawkins didn't see the need for a "spiritual" dimension in human life.
Without that spirituality life would be a long depressing grind from cradle to grave, with no hope or expectations.

We've had this discussion many times on Mudcat, and Little Hawk's contributions on this subject are always inspirational.
The point of the programme was to illustrate that blind belief in an idea which flies in the face of reason, is the first step on the road to madness, evil, and murder of your fellow humans in the name of your particular "god"

I'll look forward to the next in this series.....Ake
