The Portable Atheist - From De Rerum Natura

I'd like to preface my first post by saying that I've never led a book discussion nor have I been a member of one in nearly a decade. I attempted to find discussion questions for TPA but none existed despite my constantly rephrased google searches. That said, let's get started.I kind of felt that this first section was a bit redundant. It basically just said, "Hey, you can't get something from nothing. Science > Religion" but was rather verbose about it. It's a great opening for the book…See More

The Portable Atheist - Christopher Hitchens

I was scanning the last few posts in the group and feel as though I'm about to beat a dead horse but... does anyone want to read The Portable Atheist with me?  http://www.amazon.com/The-Portable-Atheist-Essential-Nonbeliever/dp/0306816083It's 480 pages divided into 47 very short readings (Do the math!) that would take less than an hour each. It's also allegedly informative and I've been meaning to read…See More

Why you left your religion.
When I was seven, I thought God was being horribly unfair for loving some children more than others and letting the ones that didn't listen to him burn in Hell for eternity. When I was 9 I wondered why some God let some kids have Christmas presents and left others to starve. After that things just snowballed.
