The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

Book recommendation

Been doing other stuff for a while, I'll try to get back into my routine here.

One of the most hilarious books I've read recently was 'Lamb: The gospel according to Biff, christ's childhood pal' by Christopher Moore.

The title is the book, but filling it in is awesome!. I did not get through a single page without laughing out loud.

No, it's not my usual literature. I took a break from 'serious reading material' for a little while.

Atheist Books, purchases on Amazon support the Rational Response Squad server, which houses Celebrity Atheists.

Nice -- have to check that

Nice -- have to check that out.

If you're looking for something half-way between serious and a kind of funny story, check out "Wittgenstein's Poker". It's the story of the 10-minute spat between Popper and Wittgenstein that had been building since their oddly distinct lives in Vienna. Even without an interest in philosophy, I'd say it's an entertaining read.

I have always liked Karl Popper work since I read " Objective Knowledge : An Evolutionary Approach", and I think that Wittgenstein was one of the greatest philosopher.This book also sounds good.

Signature ? How ?
