By the way, I really like your avatar.Why I am Not a Christianwas one of the first books I read when I was deconverting.
Hey, Volt, how do ya like my new avatar?! Hehehehe... Carl rules! I get bored easily, I guess... Had to find another one already... Was glad to find a pic of Carl that would stick. I'm like the Redneck version of Carl, I guess, but I don't have a pool in my backyard like Carl does...and I don't live next to crazy, talking fast food or a silly meatball. I had plenty of chores/errands that needed to be done today but I decided to just put my sweatpants on and get drunk like ol' Carl would've done. I've been walkin' around in my ancient blue flip-flops all day--just drinkin' and smokin' on the back porch--here in my flip-flops--it's a great feelin'...
I think you need a new avatar, Voltaire. You've been using that one since the very beginning, right? Come on, man...add some excitement to your life! Heheheheh!
"Why I Am Not A Christian" isn't in my personal library yet, but I've read my sister's copy. Actually, I think I read most of it while standing up in the philosophy section at Barnes & Noble, before she ever loaned it to me... I'm a cheap bastard... I intend to get my own copy someday. I do have "Religion And Science" and "The Conquest Of Happiness." Bertrand Russell was a brilliant, practical philosopher who consciously brought himself down several notches for the benefit of everybody else. Many of his contemporaries seemed to be bent only on impressing other philosophers, but Russell was different--I think he honestly just wanted to communicate an important message to regular folks...

Hey, Volt, how do ya like my new avatar?!
There is a certain irony in having an avatar of a fat balding man and a title of "21st-Century Overman." As for my own avatar I've always liked because it looks like, especially when I'm out hiking and wearing my Tilly hat. Every once in a while I think of changing to a picture of an alien from another planet because that's how I feel.
Bertrand Russell was a brilliant, practical philosopher who consciously brought himself down several notches for the benefit of everybody else.
Actually Russell wrote two classes of books, one for the general public and other books full of that dense prose that philosphers use. I do heartily agree however that his books for the general public are easy to understand and full of wonderful ideas. I like his The Conquest of Happiness, but his In Praise of Idleness I found to be a breath of fresh air after having the Protestant work ethic beaten into my head all my life.

In exchange for obedience, Christianity promises salvation in an afterlife; but in order to elicit obedience through this promise, Christianity must convince people that they need salvation, that there is something to be saved from. Christianity has nothing to offer a happy person living in a natural, intelligible universe. If Christianity is to gain a motivational foothold, it must declare war on earthly pleasure and happiness, and this, historically, has been its precise course of action. In the eyes of Christianity, woman(man) is sinful and helpless in the face of God, and is potential fuel for the flames of hell. Just as Christianity must destroy reason before it can introduce faith, so it must destroy happiness before it can introduce salvation.

There's no room for opinions in Mean Gene's totalitarian regime. His opinion was the only opinion that mattered, everything else is irrelevant--everyone else ignorant morons until they are educated by ol' Doc, who alone possesses the knowledge and delivers the truth that you can't get anywhere else in the whole, wide world. The jesus story all over again. Heheheh... It seems that somebody from down under sent 'im over the top. A heartfelt thanks goes out to "all you assholes from Australia" who can't "keep your goddamned opinions to yourselves."
