Any one read Richard dawkins book?...brilliant, as was his TV series The
Root Of All Evil (He didnt want to call it that, but the BBC insisted.
He said evil doesnt have a root. Typical enlightened comment of this great
thinker and educater.
He managed to put into words, what many "almost" true believers are on the
cusp of realizing.

Yeah I read his book this year but have not seen "The root of all
Evil". Did it have another name ???
It was a great and enjoyable book, and happily he did not bash on too
much about evolution because whilst I agree with the findings of the
divine Darwin I rather think Dawkins and his ilk are over cooking the
pudding by imagining that selction provides some kind of explanation
to life the universe and everything.

What is this root? We have nerve cells and many scientists believe
that their activities are enough to explain all of human experience,
are you implying that some patterns of activities these roots are or
are not evil and what if they make such behavior just a little easier
than other behaviors, despite the moral consequences?

Any examples?

This much I do know. Atheism is a formula for HOPELESSNESS. It leaves us
only with pecking orders.
Atheists who are higher up on their pecking order would find some worth in
existence. A boss, an artist, a builder, teacher...anyone who has some
'right of way' in life, some felt purpose in their relationship to the sea
of humanity in which they swim.
