Wow, I just released that and came here to post this, but glad someone beat me to it. And damn, Dennett was my first foray into becoming an atheist, with his book"Consciousness Explained". That then led me to Dawkins, etc and there was no stopping it. I've watched countless lectures by him on youtube (along with you AnonRa :) ), and have read most of his books.

[@jeanettecook1088]

I won't list Dr Dennett's books here, but rather two others that were pivotal in my life, before I found Dr Dennett's works... Brief Candle in the Dark, by Richard Dawkins The Demon-Haunted World, by Carl Sagan There are many others, too, now that scholarship on religion has exposed so much in the 20th and 21st centuries. Dr Dennett's books were dense and sometimes difficult to read, so it took me some time to get around them. He gave us the best of himself in all of them, however, and they are eminently worthy of reading and re-reading many times. Pure gold! I will always miss Dr Dennett and his kindness, sense of humanity, towering intellect and uncompromising stand for truth based on evidence and reasoning. 🎉

[@samuelsarfo9677]

One of the deepest thinkers of the time. I loved his view of religion as a virus.

[@IheartDogs55]

The first time I heard Dennett speak of the virus of religion everything began to make sense. I deconverted in 2016 & felt a bit overwhelmed by what I had to learn. I'd been a Christian for 60 years & needed a thinking overhaul. Dennett's clarity was so helpful to me.

oh no, man. Dan Dennet. When he got very sick and was in the hospital, some years ago, he made it. He later joked with some of his friends who told him that they preyed for him. He said "And did you also sacrifice a goat?" to them. RIP D.Dennet. (Sorry, I am pasting my comment on both of your videos today @AronRa)

Dennett was my favorite of the four. I became an atheist at the ripe old age of 60, in 2016, on NYD. My best New Year celebration ever. I was familiar with Dawkins & I saw Hitchens on Bill O'Reilly. I had never heard of Harris or Dennett. It was Dennett that I adored. He took philosophical ideas & presented them in a way that even I could understand. He had a twinkle in his eyes as he spoke; so down to earth. Dennett was not a showman, but he was brilliant. I'll miss him.
