Why I am not a Christian

danger @ 9:12 pm

Bertrand Russell was an influential philosopher and mathematician who died in 1950. A bit of history from Wikipedia :

Russell’s views on religion can be found in his popular book, Why I Am Not a Christian: And Other Essays on Religion and Related Subjects … which began as a talk given March 6, 1927 at Battersea Town Hall, under the auspices of the South London Branch of the National Secular Society, England. The speech was published later that year as a pamphlet, which, along with other essays, was eventually published as a book. In the book, Russell considers a number of logical arguments for the existence of God, including the first cause argument, the natural-law argument, the argument from design, and moral arguments. He also goes into specifics about Christian theology.

We’ll get back to the games, movies and other useless crap later, for now read the speech if you haven’t already: Why I am not a Christian. It’s not too long and it puts forth a view of the world that will save us all.
