An introduction

Oscar Wilde said:
"The Pure and Simple TRUTH is rarely pure and never simple."
I believe this is no excuse for not pursuing it and I'd like to use this Blog to track that pursuit.

For the first topic, hopefully not the last, we've decided on the question of wether or not there is a God as proposed by the book The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.

Format wise, I'm not sure how this will work as a blog. The desire is that the blog can carry a conversation type feel between the editors and anyone else wishing to join in. My mental picture is a friendly fire side chat. The God Delusion conversation itself is currently intended to follow the general format below but is free to change if needed as conversations tend to do.
  1. Explain the starting points of the editors of this blog. What beliefs, concepts, and intent we have coming in.
  2. Talk about what can/can not be assumed about what beliefs, concepts, and intent the author of the book has.
  3. Break down the book and discuss it in sections dealing with each individually. These arguements, questions, and comments may be structured however needed
  4. Discuss the work as a whole and it's effect

-P.S. Truth
