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. :chatsmilies_com_92:

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. :P Had to look up "Vaccicidal." :jester:

I'm just checking in. Attempted to DL, but no Kindle version? WTHey? Dang it, may have to get the hardback from the library...
