An Audio Book that can serve as a great base for long and intense debates and that will make you reflect about the way we deal with god(s) and religion: God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything.From the author hailed as "one of the most brilliant journalists of our time" (London Observer) comes a book that redefines the debate about religion in public life. With his unique brand of erudition and wit, Christopher Hitchens addresses the most urgent issue of our time: the malignant force of religion in the world.
In this eloquent argument with the faithful, Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion (and for a more secular approach to life) through a close and learned reading of the major religious texts, citing numerous historical instances in which sexual repression and outrageous acts of violence have been committed in the name of God.
Hitchens tells the personal stroy of his own dangerous encounters with religion and describes his intellectual journey toward a secular view of life based on science and reason, in which the heavens are replaced by the hubble telescope's awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix. "God did not make us," he writes. "We made God." Religion, he explains, is a distortion of our origins, our nature, and the cosmos. We damage our children - and endanger our world - by indoctrinating them.
Whether lifelong believer, devout atheist, or someone who remains uncertain about the role of religion in our lives, you will want to consider and engage in the arguments within this audiobook, and you will not soon forget Hitchens's foreboding refrain: Religion Poisons Everything.

Christopher Hitchens at a Glance
Christopher Eric Hitchens (born April 13, 1949) is an English-born American author, journalist and literary critic. Currently living in Washington, D.C., he has been a columnist at Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, World Affairs, The Nation, Slate, Free Inquiry, and a variety of other media outlets. Hitchens is also a political observer, whose best-selling books ? the latest being God Is Not GreatNew York Times Bestseller list ? have made him a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits.
Hitchens is said to be a polemicist and intellectual. While he was once identified with the Anglo-American radical political left, he has latterly embraced some arguably right-wing causes, notably the Iraq War; the war has had the support of some liberal commentators of Hitchens' acquaintance in the UK and Canada. Formerly a Trotskyist and a fixture in the left wing publications of both the United Kingdom and United States, Hitchens departed from the consensus of the political left in 1989 after what he called the "tepid reaction" of the European left following Ayatollah Khomeini's issue of a fatwa calling for the murder of Salman Rushdie. The September 11, 2001 attacks strengthened his embrace of an interventionist foreign policy, and his vociferous criticism of what he calls "fascism with an Islamic face". He is known for his ardent admiration of George Orwell, Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson, and for his excoriating critiques of Mother Teresa, Henry Kissinger, and Bill Clinton.
Hitchens is an antitheist, and he describes himself as a believer in the Enlightenment values of secularism, humanism, and reason.
