    Re: William James

    Actually, I just finished reading a good chunk of Hitchen's new book and beyond religion being a waste of time, he refers to it as poison. Religious leaders are always trying to demonize people who 'believe in nothing' as shallow and amoral, all the while the true believers are killing each other all over the world, or at least making life miserable for everyone around them. As for me, I try to live my life based on the available facts and refuse to believe in anything beyond what's for lunch.
