Kin...have you read "how religion has poisoned everything"...interested in your opinion.....the author does not hold back...
You mean "God is Not Great" by Chris Hitchens? Yes, it has pride of place on my bookshelf. Hitchens is a brilliant writer, thinker, speaker and polemicist. If you like that book, some of his other stuff is well worth a read. Also worth checking out videos on youtube and other places, including the debate he had with Tony Blair about whether religion is a force for good or evil in the world.
Hitchens is terminally-ill with cancer (probably not completely unrelated to his love of cigarettes and alcohol), which I'm sure will please many in the religious right.
Yeah kin...that's the very one...I'm only a few chapters in....had to put it down for a while and am having an inner debate at whether to continue...
Reason being I realise I can't argue with his thoughts....I'm a lapsed catholic and am of the opinion one day I would return to the church.n if I continue,well I think the door would firmly close,its very powerful stuff...my missus,a Christian read a lil too n had to put it down,I could sense she was feeling subverted....
