Blake HugginsTerry Eagleton reviews Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion." The first sentence is money...and it only gets better. I appreciate his critique especially since he is an atheist. (h/t @gideony via twitter)

Julia LesageEagleton's response to Dawkins' "The God Delusion"; I have read this a number of times and each time am surprised by how eloquent it is; spirituality has stayed with us as we have evolved as humans; why?

if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you.

For mainstream Christianity, reason, argument and honest doubt have always played an integral role in belief.
... Reason, to be sure, doesn’t go all the way down for believers, but it doesn’t for most sensitive, civilised non-religious types either. Even Richard Dawkins lives more by faith than by reason. We hold many beliefs that have no unimpeachably rational justification, but are nonetheless reasonable to entertain.
... It is rather to claim that while faith, rather like love, must involve factual knowledge, it is not reducible to it. For my claim to love you to be coherent, I must be able to explain what it is about you that justifies it; but my bank manager might agree with my dewy-eyed description of you without being in love with you himself.
