Movie Friday: Why Are You Atheists So Angry?


In moments of extreme self-congratulation, I fancy myself a pretty good writer. When I really put effort into it, I can occasionally produce passages that break through the barrier of the prosaic into the realm of the poetic. I’ve been told by a handful that I have a particular talent for explanation, and that my ability to put things into relatable words makes this a very readable blog. I know my writing has changed over the past 2 years, since I’ve been writing more or less every day. Things come to me more easily, and occasionally I can read my own stuff and even be slightly impressed by it.

I think that if I keep it up for another 10 years or so, I will be in a league with Greta Christina. Greta has been one of my favourite writers for a long time, and her blog is a daily read for me. I’m 100% positive I’ve gushed like this before, so I’ll forestall the fanboy-dom long enough to say that Greta has a new book out called Why Are You Atheists So Angry?: 99 Things That Piss Off the Godless. Here is a fun promo video:

Read this book, then punch a bible. Then… I dunno, do something else.

    Ok, the intro to that video = class! Ha, next time someone tells me I’m angry, I’m going to link to that.

    Then buy several more copies of Greta’s book to give to that friend or relative that keeps giving you tasteless religious crap for the holidays.

    Revenge gifting: childish but still kind of gratifying. Hey and more money for Greta!

    I love Greta’s essays and I’m looking forward to reading this book once I have time.

    I was given a copy of Chris Hedges’ “I Don’t Believe in Atheists” a couple years ago. While I’m not the type to engage in revenge gifting, you’re at least giving me something to fantasise about.
