    I was trying to spare Orsonn Scott Card's feelings. Wouldn't want him to get tears on his money-kleenex.

    When you write a book stating that X does not exist, you are making a statement which you need to support. Negative statements are not exempt from burden of proof.

    That's just the title, defender. There is a chapter in the book called "Why There is Almost Certainly No God". It's not a flat out negative statement.

    No animals go to heaven. I think that's in the bible somewhere. I could be wrong. It's because they don't have souls or whatever. Don Bluth movies lie!

    Here's where the "smarmy douchebag" part comes in. You have the nerve to call something a "delusion" but you have to say "almost certainly"? What the fuck? "Almost certainly" means "I can't prove it." It's pretty strong wording to call something you can't disprove a "delusion."

    Thousands of years ago, the very idea of the atom as we imagine it today would've been unthinkably bizarre. I mean, you're telling me that this three-foot-thick wall of forged iron is composed mostly of empty space? Bullshit, look how solid and heavy it is! The point is that stating something with great certainty that you cannot actually prove is pretty douche-y.

    There is seriously no good explanation for how all of this shit came to be, and I doubt that there ever will be. "Some extra-dimensional force created it" isn't crazy and convoluted and wacky. It is, I'd venture, actually LESS absurd than "I dunno, this shit just appeared for no reason."

    I am not even proclaiming that I believe that there's a god or whatever. In fact, I'd fall into the agnostic camp. But it's every bit as offensive to call belief in god a delusion and all theists are idiots as it is to go around saying that you have the one true faith and everyone else is a hell-bound retard.

    If you do read Ender's Game (which you should), then try to follow it up with Ender's Shadow sometime within the year, good stuff.

    If you're into history then pick up anything by Stephen Ambrose. My favorite being anything about the 101st in WW2, or Ghost Soldiers, about the Bataan Death March, the camps most those folks went to after that, and the subsequent raid to free them.
