2nd to last one for UTSA

This is my second to last blog for my freshman english compisition class and i must say it was much harder to keep a blog updated than i orginally concieved it would be.
For this blog i think i will comment on the book i have been reading lately and the debate i have been watching bits and pieces of on you tube. The book i have been reading is "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins. The debate i have been watching is a debate over Athiesm vs. Christianity (just youtube that there is 15 ten minute sections).
I want to start off by saying that i am a christian with strong views that will not be changed even by the most radical of circumstances. I do believe in god so my view on the situation is biased as one my suspect. However i do think that christianity is the educated route.
First off the book, Richard Dawkins is no genius. Merely, a moron making claims that focus on extremities and non factual basis. He sets up his own scale for determining the level of how strongly you believe in something. None of his views are widely accepted. He is extremely hypocritical. If asked i can explain more but for the purposes of this blog at the moment it is unneccesry. I can give quotes though. He claims that as athiest do not believe in god or better wordered to do not believe in anything they have nothing to prove yet it must be proved to them that god exist. If this is the case then why argue that no god exists when your only arguement is that no proof for god is existant when such proof is existant. Richard Dawkins is no genius.
Next is the debate i have been watching. The same arguements for athiesm are taken generally speaking only with a couple direct literal translations of the bible used as an arguement. Much of the bible is metephorical and as i human and i christian i am sure that nobody understands it all. However, just because it is dificult to comprehend does not make it false and does not mean it should be taken literally. Not all good things come easy.
I have no problem with athiest. My problem is with uninformed athiest who are hyporcrits.
