I just read the final chapter of "God is not great" by Hitchens and although it was hard to read for me (english beeing my second language and all), it was one of the most interesting books I've ever read about anything. His facts always win against old superstitions even in my own mind and he's got a brilliant kind of "british humor" that pushes you after a few "only-fact" chapters.

There are two of my own superstitions it destroyed or better yet debunked. And I was an Atheist before, so that is not one of them The first is the myth about Gandhi, that he was a saint and saw every men and women equal and hated violence. Turns out, he hated black africans, he slept with teenage girls and he was a fanatic hindu. Not that it makes him any kind of lesser man or that freeing India a lesser thing, but he doesn't deserve the "Mahatma" or saint in front of his name.

The second superstition debunked would be the old Mother Theresa stories (you should read that piece yourself in the book or watch "PENN AND TELLER: BULLSHIT! HOLIER THAN THOU!")

I recommend it to everybody who hasn't read it yet, but what do you think about the book? Comments are always welcome!

I hope you liked to read this article and I'm still waiting for "THE GOD DELUSION" to arrive via Mail (damn you, amazon!)
