Postcard From Purgatory

I finished reading Dawkins's The God Delusion a while back, it took me a long time to read it, I wanted to understand and soak up every words. Since i'm a book ho, today I purchased God is not Great by Christopher Hitchens, read a lot of good reviews about it and it only came out earlier this week.
Excerpt: Hitchens tells the personal story of his own dangerous encounters with religion and describes his intellectual journey toward a secular view of life based on science and reason, in wich the heavens are replaced by the Hubble telescope's awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix. "God did not make us", he writes "We made God". Religion, he explains, is a distortion of our origins, our nature, and the cosmos. We damage our children—and endanger our world—by indoctrinating them.

On another note.. i'm going to Christelle's birthday party tomorrow. Can't wait, it will be a lot of fun judging by the people who will be present. Plus I'll get to see Happy ;)

I'm so getting that book. Even when Hitchens stumbles onto stage drunk, he can still make a lot of sense and it always brilliant.

Tu habites Montréal. Ça serait le fun que tu apprennes le français au lieu de vivre repliée sur toi comme ça. Intègre-toi donc un peu! Nous on t'accueille ici et tu vis dans ton ghetto.

Une pouffe qui a du temps à perdre.
Un con qui se demande pourquoi personne lui veut du bien.

Voilà deux bonnes raisons pourquoi j'ai aucun désir de m'intègrer à votre ravissante ville droite et bien polie.

Shan, I miss you.
