God Is Not Great!

raeshad

Hey. Long time no see.

Anyway, I'm trying to find a good book to buy to spend my in-flight home. I came across a review of God Is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens in the New York Times, not so long ago.

Basically, what I would like to know is whether it's a good book to read or not, if anyone out there already read it that is? [minus any pre-conceived notion about the topic per se].

Thanks a bunch

1.NYTimes link - In God, Distrust
2. Amazon link - God is not Great
3. Cover

p/s: i've been out of the loop from the forum, and now, even when starting a new thread seems like solving a chemical equation.

Try this one too...

Author: Richard Dawkins
Title: God's Delusion

Summary: Tak habis baca sbb he failed to convince me (at least with facts n figures) of why we should discard God. Unlike other writers who did research and studies to concretize their arguments, this guy simply being denial in every argument and issue he brought forth and say in such arrogrant positivism voice that the readers should discard God because he said so!
Being an uber believer of Islam, I think he has to convey his argument with more substance.

I once saw a television interview with Ricard Dawkins regarding that particular book. I'll embed the video later if i can find the video online. It's an invigorating look into his psyche and I actually favourited the video as he answered the questions posed by the reporter very eloquently

yes, plus the fact that not *everyone* in Malaysia is Muslim. There are other religions too.
