David Baddiel would love there to be a God. He has spent a lot of time fantasising about how much better life would be if there actually was such a thing as a Superhero Dad who chased off Death. Unfortunately for him, there isnaEURO (TM)t. Or at least, that is BaddielaEURO (TM)s view in this book, which argues that it is indeed the very intensity of his, and everyone elseaEURO (TM)s, desire for God to exist that proves His non-existence. Anything so deeply wished-for we will, considers Baddiel, make real. The admission of his own divine yearnings makes for a book that is more vulnerable aEURO" and more understanding of the value and power of religion aEURO" than most atheist polemics. A philosophical essay that utilises BaddielaEURO (TM)s trademarks of comedy, storytelling and personal asides, The God Desire offers a highly readable new perspective on the most ancient of debates.
