If there is a God, it's going to be a whole lot bigger and a whole lot more incomprehensible than anything that any theologian of any religion has ever proposed.
Amen! I already liked Dawkins, and now I may finally have become an official admirer.
I've always understood how the mystery and magnificence of the world could lead to positing the existence of God(s)--what has always puzzled me is why we should think the notions of God(s) derived from tribal culture are those most likely to be true. I, too, suspect that if there is a God, S/he is not a tricked out Superman.

Drinking when we are not thirsty and making love at any time, madam, is all that distinguishes us from the other animals.
