Re: On misunderstanding Dawkins (none / 0)

Just like pornography then? You know it when you see it.

That you can take something so complex as "religion" and reduce it to such simplicities is fascinating.

Books about cars and food?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Who's reduced it to "simplicities" ? The point is that a general definition is likely to be simplistic and that we would anyway judge the adequacy of any definition by our much more complex experience of the word "religion" and of religions.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
