Lit Bit

Reading the Hitch’s God is not Great is, for me, like preaching to the converted. After you read Dostoyevsky’s Brothers Karamazov, you not only know that God is not Great but that God is Not There. Still, it’s always fun to read an erudite mind on a subject that has ripped mankind to shreds. (So what if he said the tsunami struck in 2005 when it was 2004? What’s a year or two between sceptics?)
Here’s why it’s fun: The watcher at the gates, “whose job it was to alert the others if the Messiah arrived unexpectedly”, says “It’s steady work”. Now if that doesn’t give you a laugh, I dunno what will.
