The Portable Atheist - Christopher Hitchens
by portcontrol7 ini'm slowly making my way through this strangely titled (portable isn't the first adjective that comes to mind when looking at this book) tome of atheistic thought throughout the past 2 millennia.
most of the samplings come from the past few centuries, but it begins with some writings by lucretius and omar khayyam.
this book is a delight and a must have for an atheist who wishes to see the progression of atheism over the centuries, as well as some of the most damning polemics against the illogic of faith.

Raised a JW from birth...
by portcontrol7 ini am now 31 and after leaving the "truth" in my teenage years i was plagued with anger towards the organization as well as christianity in general.
has anyone come to read the teachings of the buddha and found them a refreshing and eye opening insight into the nature of reality?
not long ago i picked up a book entitled "awakening the buddha within", and have found spirituality in a way that i could never find in the jehovah's witnesses organization.
