Consciousness Raising
6th of July, 2008
I’m half way through The God Delusion. Much of the beginning is dedicated to arguing how naive belief in God is. Not necessarily deliberately turning a blind eye to evidence against a God (which many still do) but genuine, indoctrinated belief of God in the children of religious parents for example. People that aren’t aware there’s alternative theories or that they’re even capable of considering other ideas. Consciousness raising is a technique for opening minds to the alternatives. I love Dawkins’ example.
Why is North up?

There’s no reason it needs be.
