Okay, if you haven't done so, go read Mano's blog posts titled Much Ado About Transubstantiation and Cloning God. The latter is especially hilarious. I'll wait.

I mentioned these to Sam on the road last night (where he tried to kill us both), but I may as well post them for anyone interested.

Here's some fuel for the fire next time a religious apologist claims that atheists have no basis for morality.

First, a foreword: I have not read Christopher Hitchens' book "God Is Not Great", though I've quite likely heard all of the arguments he makes on numerous occasions. If the rumors of his attitude are true, then I'm not even especially interested in him (versus other authors). But on the Case Forum I ran across a link to a blog "review" of the aforementioned book. Instead of coming across as an actual review, or even a criticism of Hitchens, I found it to be yet another misguided slam against atheism.
