I'll be honest, there's not a whole lot I can add to this. And I'm afraid if I go into too much of a lengthy review on this, it might upset people. That is not at all my intent. Full disclosure: I'm not very religious. Wasn't brought up with religious beliefs. I am not anti-religious by any stretc...

There is a common thing in all of the anti-God-and-religion books, which is the misunderstanding of some of the major points and ideas in religions, especially Islam. For example, in this book Hitchens says that in Islam, and according to the Koran, apostasy is punishable by death.This is actually w...

The debate made both atheists and Christians happy. The atheists would like Christopher Hitchens and see how he destroyed Dinesh D'Souza. The Christians who are too stupid to comprehend the debate, would take pleasure in the childish insult that Dinesh D'Souza thrown at Christopher Hitchens. I...

Very important book written for those of us who have an open mind and are willing to use reason above faith. It took great courage for Hitchens to publish this, and hat's off to him. Glad to have somebody at least attempt to be straightforward and honest about a topic that has long concerned me.

Christopher Hitchens pissed off a lot of people in his time. In my opinion - totally worth it.Hitchens is a full force of no apologies against religious tyranny. He brings forth all its shames, its misdemeanors and the misconceptions surrounding religion in all forms - no religion escapes his critic...

Not long ago, I watched a couple of those "How The Universe Works" shows, and it kinda traumatized me. In however many billions of years, the sun is going to die, and slightly before that the Earth will be incinerated, and everything that we are, were, will be, and will have built will cease to exis...

I read this because Dawkins recommended it. I thought it was interesting and I enjoyed reading it, but on the whole prefer Dawkins because of the ways he uses biology to support his arguments. Hitchens made me laugh more, though, with his arch asides.
