I've been trying to find an eBook version of Kiedis' book so I can have a read of it.
I'm reading through the Millenium Trilogy at the moment. I have the movies here to watch (The foreign versions) once I'm done - It will interesting to see what the US versions will be like as well.
God is not Great - Christopher Hitchens
Being an athiest myself this was very interesting, especially from such a notorised academic. Hitchens just basically points out how blinded people are by faith, so much so that they ignore scientific proof and, well the reality that contradicts the Bible and it's timelines. I don't begrudge anyone their faith but when some people blindly refuse to accept what Science has proven because of a book of fables and stories then they really are just lying to themslves. Heck, none of us really know the truth, and there's something poetic in living on after our mortal death, but some scientific facts are just irrefutible, no matter how much faith you have. Not all religious believers are so blinded, obviously, and I'm not trying to turn this into a discussion about religion, nor do I think the book will change anyone's faith but it certainly might broaden some peoples views and open their eyes that we can accept Scientific fact while still maintaining our faith in religion.
