god Is Not Great by Christopher Hitchins. This is a book I would definately reccomend for any Christian who is strong in their faith enough to not be shaken. Christopher Hitchens is an author we discussed for our Langauge & Composition class, so I have had only a taste of his work. We read one chapter out of his book and he was a pretty angry man from what I could tell. He tries to dismiss every type of religion (not just Christianity) saying that they are evil. I think that this would be a good book to read for stronger Christians because it gives a good view on the perspective of atheistic intellectuals when it comes to religion (as they would call it.) It's nice to know what is getting argued out there. Acutally, not to dismiss this guy, but what our group told us is that when his teacher told that "God made the grass green so you could have something pretty to look at" that is when he knew that God didn't exist and he devoted much of his life to arguing that point. I think the guy is over exagerating just a little bit. In the chapter I read he said that God had sent His Son to "impress" us. I don't know how someone who has read the Bible can come up with that argument. It's pretty plain to see He did it out of love. Anyways I hope you get a chance to read a little of his work because it would be worth it reading it. But just be warned you are reading the argument of an atheist so don't get caught up in it.
