Dawkins and Incurable Mind Viruses

A major critique of Richard Dawkins' book, The God Delusion.

Dr Ray Scott Percival argues that the brilliant zoologist Richard Dawkins, in emphasising the self-perpetuating nature of certain memes, overlooks the importance of truth and logic in their transmission.

Even monotheistic religions and concepts such as hell, which might appear to spread purely due to psychological impact, are likely influenced by the rational processes of wishful and fearful thinking, which themselves evolved to aid in goal attainment, and satisfy rational standards such as Occam's razor.
