Dawkins, Harris, & Harris! |
Yes, I finally got off my lazy *****, went over to the info desk, and
said "I want those books that've been stirring up the xians the last
couple of years." Yes, I suppose I could have bought them used, on
Amazon, or something.....but I believe in putting my money where my
mouth is.

There is a new one that I'm buying this weekend:
"Against All Gods", by A C Grayling. Grayling is always worth reading.
This is the review by Cal McCrystal in last Sunday's Independent:

Starting to look like a new niche. Mysteries, romance,
sci-fi, atheism (e.g: I'm OK, You're O<, God is
a Big Poo-poo Face")

I read the God Delusion, loved it(!), but I'm telling you, I'm in the
middle of the End of Faith by Sam Harris and that is one of the most
important books I've ever read. That guy is one deep thinker.

I agree that the first half of his book is one of the most important first
half's of a book I've ever read.
The last half sort of garnished the first half with a dollop of feces.
Darn it.

That's surprising, given the level of writing of what I've read so
far. Oh well, I will soldier on...

_The End of Faith_ scared the snot outta me. <Shiver>
I just ordered Christopher Hitchens' new book _God is Not Great_ from
Amazon, an put Al Gore's newest book, _The Assault on Reason_, on pre-
order.

Gore said something very disturbing recently:
(By PZ Myers, on new material that has apparently been added to "An
inconvenient Truth)
"... he then continued to explain that according to his religious
beliefs, this "rise of humans" was God's creation of mankind —
apparently 200,000 years ago. His graph then changed to include the
caption "Adam & Eve" above this starting point."
"...It's strange how this one little slide makes me far less
enthusiastic about the prospect of another Gore run for the
presidency. Even if he doesn't actually believe in a literal creation
event for mankind, he's not above pandering to the ignorant."
