A must read for everyone!
Christopher Hitchens is a bastard. I love his writing, I love his speeches and seminars, I love his erudite wit, but he is a bastard. I hate his sexism, I hate his contrarian pro war views, I hate his feud with George Galloway, yet he is a "godsend"!God is not Great is his most recent work and he does with this book what I thought could not be done. He has given us a mainstream best seller that excoriates the evil that is organized religion. This book has been out for awhile, but I just got it. Read this book. Then read it again. If you believe in freedom and peace and justice then you must know that organized religion is our second biggest enemy. Our worst enemy being ourselves.
This book is good for people that are still lying to themselves. So many Americans lie to themselves daily. "There really is a man up in the sky that watches me.""Our economy of waste and consumption is sustainable." "No one really discriminates anymore, that's the past." "These pants make me look fat."
