[RichardE]

Im still on dean koontz- velocity, the last one I finished was the actual written novel, Battle Royal, not the manga.

I am tempted to pick up "the god dillusion" for the fact, such a blatent ratent athiests book should be read for a laugh.

I am currently reading "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins, it's actually very, very good.

Also reading "The Inquisitor" by Catherine Jinks, and re-reading "Debating Calvinism" Dave Hunt & James White.

 

[RichardE]

ah yes, see i may seem from my statement to be a athiest hating person, I'm not but richard dawkins has a past for bieng very very hard on his views and as you could say, the other side of the bench, we will see when I read it.

Those other books sound interesting.

I'm working on "The Truth of Catholicism" by George Weigel. Of course I have a few other books I'm reading here and there along with it.

I'm on kanYe Wests Work Out Plan... is that the same thing? My bootay is lookng large and round!

I like big butts and I cannot lie, the otha brothas can't deny... (Not quoting the rest of the song )

and re-reading "Debating Calvinism" Dave Hunt & James White.

Please tell me you got it used or it's a library copy or something. I don't want more money and/or publicity going into the hands of James White.

I shamefully paid the full price of $25 dollars and bought it new from Koorong several years ago.

I do alot of historical wide reading, it's usually course-related reading, but often not required. I'm currently looking for good reading material on the Russian Revolution, if anyone has some good suggestions, let me know!

Btw I do know what you mean about Dawkins and his views, and I'd expect the majority of Christian forums to despise him for his opinions, hehe.

But...but...you wouldn't buy it new again would you?

I thought this was the thread on religious reading -- I'm also reading travel books about parts of Arizona.

My copy of volume III of "A Marginal Jew" has been staring at me for a few weeks and making me feel guilty. I really should get on reading it.
