The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice – Hitchens

Christopher Hitchen’s book The Missionary Position was published in 1995, right around the time when my 10 year old brain was being spoon fed Catholicism and my mother was telling me how saintly and wonderful Mother Teresa was. It is for this reason that I am now just able to read this revealing book on the hypocrisies and depravities of Mother Teresa. Having met Mother Teresa himself and tour her poor house in Calcutta, Hitchens offers a glimpse into the derisive nature of her work and her heavy hand in politics and money all over the globe.

Letter to A Christian Nation: Sam Harris (Book Review)

Letter to A Christian Nation was the first of Sam Harris’ books that I picked up. Gathering assumptions from the title, I anticipated a book geared towards the religious infiltration into American politics. I found a bit of that mixed into Sam’s book, but even better I found his straightforward approach to tackling American fundamentalists brilliantly refreshing. Written in the first person,[amazon ASIN="978-0307278777"]Letter to a Christian Nation[/amazon] bluntly points out the hypocracies American fundamentalist Christians show in opposing Muslim fundamentalists. Before doing this, he compactly brings down every major dogma of Christianity, laying the ground work for the final punch at the end. He rightly suggests that in order to combat the religious nonsense that drives Muslim suicide attacks, American Christians need to turn that finger around and examine their own radical, exclusive belief system.

The Ten Commandments Revised: Christopher Hitchens

Another brilliant article by Christopher Hitchens. This one deals with the outdated and very useless 10 commandments of the Judeo Christian religions. He brings up many fabulous observations about how the bible actually has four versions of the 10 commandments within the Old Testament and how the first 4 commandments have nothing to do with how to behave but rather demand that its followers grovel before their god. Here is an excerpt from his Vanity Fair Article:
