Trying to read some parts of Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion that I hadn’t read yet, I found this:
In pages 87-92 he discusses the idea that God speaks to people and compares it to hallucinations and insanity and quotes Sam Harris saying, “...while religious people are not generally mad, their core beliefs absolutely are.”
Then in the very next section Dawkins dismisses C. S. Lewis’s Liar/Lunatic/Lord trilemma by saying, “A fourth possibility, almost too obvious to need mentioning, is that Jesus was honestly mistaken.”
So to Dawkins, it’s insane to think that God talks to you, but perfectly sane to think that you are God (when you're not)! As I said before, the guy is a hoot.
