We'll be discussing Sam Harris' <em>Letters to a Christian Nation. </em>I know its an old one, but its short, and I was a little late announcing the meeting. I do like how the New York group is doing it chapter by chapter, though. I'm hoping to go from purely atheist books to maybe some on science and evolution. Sorry, no C.S. Lewis allowed. And especially no <em>Left Behind </em>, I insist on at least half way decent literature and character development:) Although, maybe we should start reviewing a certain book about an atheist who sold his soul....

It's obvious to me, this god doesn't make sense, being hamstrung by these silly beliefs does not make sense. It hurts people, it hurts people around me.
