According to some estimates, about 500,000 people died in the Colosseum. Additionally, so many animals were captured and then killed there that certain species reportedly became extinct. Christ the Redeemer, a colossal statue of Jesus, stands atop Mount Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro. Its origins date to just after World War I, when some Brazilians feared a “tide of godlessness.” They proposed a statue, which was ultimately designed by Heitor da Silva Costa, Carlos Oswald, and Paul Landowski.

Among the most notable is the stepped pyramid El Castillo (“The Castle”), which rises 79 feet above the Main Plaza. A testament to the Mayans’ astronomical abilities, the structure features a total of 365 steps, the number of days in the solar year. During the spring and autumnal equinoxes, the setting sun casts shadows on the pyramid that give the appearance of a serpent slithering down the north stairway; at the base is a stone snake head. Life there was not all work and science, however.

Foremost, I think that as he refers to the primary kind of god within our society, the “man” clearly has some meat on his bones. Moreover, given that the notion of god is ill- and numerously- defined, it is asking too much to require Dawkin to refrain from using the word in its common usage. And again, he explicitly limits the targets of his attacks. (Of course it’s selective perception.) Instead, please bear in mind that only one tradition gave rise to the Enlightenment, although others provided necessary contributions. It’s absolutely impossible to judge it solely on its own merits. What do we judge it against – man in a state of nature – man in a mythopoeic society – man as his society might have developed if Ancient Greek philosophy had taken deeper root – man under other religions?

Research has shown that when the wrong incentives are used to motivate consumers or agents to spread positive word-of-mouth about products or brands, the campaigns can backfire on the organization. Proconsumer WOM has been suggested as a counterweight to commercially motivated word of mouth. This was a gorgeous pavilion, with a glittery golden sheen to the dome and a 76-foot tower called the Tower of Life (made of steel-and-carbon) that was modeled after the double helix of DNA, served as the grand entrance. Inside, the high tech circus theme was warm and effective, and like much of EPCOT Center at the time, carried a mood that was both futuristic and charmingly nostalgic. Short played both himself and his father, and wonderful retro-style animation proved very eye-opening.

You don’t even need to write about it in detail – a link would be fine. So your concern in this comment thread isn’t about the actual truth of any religion, but only Dawkins’ shortcoming in not having debunked all religion. Trying to take that away from them is like trying to train people to stop blinking when something hurtles towards their eyes. It could possibly be done but you’re going to leave them feeling very unsettled and vulnerable.
