Since God isn't actually real- as Karen would probably admit if she had to bet her life-savings on it- it's a bit rich to chastise anyone for having an infantile view of a non-existant being.
I read her 'History of God' and she explains pretty well how religion was gradually invented and spread by people to fulfill various human needs. Nowhere did it strike me that she seriously believed in the mythology.
At least Dawkins is an honest atheist, who openly states that religion is all fiction.
Yeah, and let's get this straight- the people who talk to the bearded guy in the sky who presumaby designed and built a 1000 billion planets (but forgot to mention any of them in his textbook) are fulfilling a time-honoured tradition, but the people who hate the idea that others spend their lives in thrall to a dangerous fiction are the crazy ones?
By the way- big bangs and black holes aren't religious- they're empirically testable hypotheses. There's a difference.
