God Is Not Great.


This is not just a statement, but also a book written by the very influential Christopher Hitchens. Christopher Hitchens is well known for his controversial and well-educated talks and discussions against religious figures. He not only called Mother Teresa a fanatic fraud, but also called Jerry Falwell a stupid, anti-semetic fraud (which he truely is). He is one of the many people i look up to, not only for speaking his own mind, but for his intelligent anti-theist point of view (not only atheist, but against religion itself). You can youtube his name and find numerous debates, discussions that will surely change your perspective on being human and about religion. After reading this book, my outlook on religion has changed forever. No one will ever be able to change the ideas that Hitchens has been able to insert in my mind. I believe that we are now at a crossroad as a human species, where religion needs to be abolished, or suppressed. The power of religion, especially in the middle east, is a serious issue. I believe that everyone, should read this book and explore the ideas that Hitchens has. Knowing how religion poisons everything, can benefit us all.
