The Deluded Atheist: A Response to Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion Paperback – August 31, 2008
by Douglas Wilson (Author)
4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (17
Noted pastor, theologian, and apologist Rev. Doug Wilson responds to atheist Richard Dawkins in this compact, hard-hitting, and insightful book. Among the many responses that the recent new atheism has aroused The Deluded Atheist stands out in its unparalleled precision and wit, reducing Dawkins atheistic criticism to groundless complaints and tail-chasing unreason.
This book has gained much traction among intellectuals. It is a direct assault on Richard Dawkins' deluded atheistic attempts to do away with God. As I have successfully proven the existence of God when "elevated" in the past, I resist the temptation to be seduced by the mundane world that is responsible for the atheists' delusion. Unfortunately, intellectuals like CC are not so lucky. For they fall victim to the very trappings that are responsible for the atheistic delusion. "Illusionists", as they are called, do not have the luxury of dispensing with the complexities of consciousness. CONSCIOUSNESS IS NOT AN ILLUSION - and so begins the war with atheists. These are the words spoken by me and addressed to atheists the world over. Though it may be tainted with a hint of emotion, it is nevertheless correct.
As I have the privilege of truth, perched high above the atheistic delusion. I admit that I must seek a more optimal strategy of addressing the deluded atheist. A world in the grips of delusion is not a pretty sight. I fear that when we adopt the illusionist's dilemma this is what we will see. I only hope the rest of humanity will not fall prey to this sad state of affairs.
