Who would like to lead the discussion of
God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction?
What does a book discussion leader do? Well, I'm glad you asked. A good discussion leader reads the book and makes an honest attempt at actively participating in the discussion. Nothing more and nothing less.

The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.
- Richard Dawkins
The chapter titles come from Dawkins' famous description and even expand the characteristics.
Had to look up "Vaccicidal."
I'm just checking in. Attempted to DL, but no Kindle version? WTHey? Dang it, may have to get the hardback from the library...
