God Is Not Great
Slate has published three excerpts from Christopher Hitchens' new book, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything.

1. Religion Poisons Everything

2. Was Muhammad Epileptic?

3. Mormonism: A Racket Becomes a Religion

I flipped through this book at the store out of curiosity and must say it was pretty lame. I'll stick with my plan to have eternal life.

I'd love to have an honest debate with you (seriously), but I flipped through that book quite a while ago and there is no way that I'd be able to give examples. I just remember thinking his reasoning was as subjective as he says Christian's reasoning is.

So which one is more right, or wrong?
