Superb book
The wife got me it last Christmas mate

she ordered me one of his other books witch I'm waiting to be delivered
Why ORWELL matters
That sums it up very well
If god does exist , he's a complete ****
Enjoyed that little interview , what a very intelligent man Mr Fry is.
The interviewers face was a picture
Well kids do get home cancer and die young so clearly god is not loving or omnipresent or all powerful as he allows this to happen
They say his son turned water into wine and fed the 5000 with loaves of bread and fish so surely his father can save young children , stop Hitler and Stalin etc ?
It's interesting to note that many nonbelievers on here associate the concept of 'God' with the Abrahamist one, which is perhaps understandable due to the statistics at this point in history. For my part, all gods have the same status.
It is also not without irony that Abrahamism is a wonderful example of schism upon schism and deep enmity between those endless schisms. It seems that the Abrahamism god not only has done nothing for 2,000 years but he can't keep his flock from fracturing and setting themselves against each other.
...and adopting different collections of literature as their guide along the way, of course.
Our book is the truth , no it isnt, ours is !!

I always find it ironic that some people who have survived a catastrophic event thank 'God' without bearing in mind that the same deity must have therefore decided that those who perished in the same event were not worthy of sparing.
This is a great book, it was sent to me to help cure me of all those silly conspiracy theories but it actually had the opposite effect, imo Sagan was very awake and it was pretty obvious to me that he could see a future for this planet that he didn't like..

If you don't have time to read the whole thing there are some greats quotes from it..
https://www.goodreads.com/work/quote...he-dark?page=2
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
Another potentially interesting thread descends into the same old stuff by the same 2 posters.

Cosmos is a superb book
He went to church , they didn't
Anyone who describes modern capitalism as an ugly prison gets my vote , sounds like a cracking readI think the answer is in the above mentioned book. You can make people believe absolutely anything if you know how. It worked for around 2,000 years regarding religion, but I'm guessing that with the advent TV, radio & media, religion was allowed or even encouraged to die, as it had already served it's purpose. There is also the socialist/communist subversive element which included the destruction of religion as a core doctrine, but by this time the Tavistock Institute and others like Edward Bernays had already worked out how to replace it.
Once you know the rules of the game the role of slogans, repeat messaging, news by ommision, nudge units, propaganda, misinformation/disinformation, conformation bias, bogeymen, etc, becomes very clear. We are like putty in the hand for those who have agendas and big ideas to implement

People in this thread seem to be putting forward their thoughts an an articulate manner and without getting into personal spats and making ad hominem attacks. If you are the original Croesy Blue you should perhaps take note.
While we do not really have Religious threads as they always end up the same way, this one appears to have run without incident
