Yes, Christopher Hitchens (a well-known figure in the atheist community) died. All I did in response was to keep living my life as I always have and bought his book God is Not Great in hopes that proceeds from the book are serving some worthy cause that he championed. I once saw him in a debate on C-Span with some religious figure and they were debating Pascal's Wager. Watching the man evicerate Pascal's Wager was like watching lions feed on a gazelle. There was hardly any contest and Hitchens scathing wit made it all the more better. He never let up.
If you've been looking at the blog wondering why there's been no new posts it's because I've had hardly any time with which to write new posts (mostly due to work). Also, I didn't want to post atheist related stuff and start a kerfuffle during the holidays. The last thing I need is my inbox flooded with bible verses. But in the meantime I think I'm going to quote a bible verse here. This one is for all the religious anti-gay marriage folks out there. If you're going to protest homosexuality then I think you got to include all of the laws of Leviticus in there as well. Which at dinner tonight I broke one of those laws, so I guess I am an abomination unto the Lord.
Leviticus 11:9-12 says:
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
The shrimp was really tasty.
