I had great plans for work today, but I spent
most of the day reading "
God is not great" by
Christopher Hitchens. The book is a great polemic
against religion. I enjoyed it more than the equivalent
book by Dawkins. Hitchen's book is particularly good as
a critique of the institution of religion. Before reading
this book, I might (if I could be bothered) have said, although
there is no God, the institutions of the church or Mosque
are perhaps useful. Not any longer!
Anyway, yesterday a miracle happened to really focus my attention
on the message on the book.
