Shawn Sharpe shawnsharpe — Honestly, I think it takes a lot more courage to be an atheist than it does to be religious. As Sam Harris writes, "once you stop swaddling the reality of the world's suffering in religious fantasies, you will feel in your bones just how precious life is- and, indeed, how unfortunate it is that millions of human beings suffer the most harrowing abridgments of their happiness for no reason at all." And this quote rang more true to me than anything I've read in a long time. Once you realize the nothingness of not existing, the true, scientific finality of death, it is only then when you understand the miracle and beauty of life. Understanding this also provides one with a sense of humbleness that though religion might preach, its followers will never know. How can you consider yourself a humble human being when you think there is a man in the sky who takes an interest in you, approves of you, loves you, and will reward YOU after death? Though I've read a lot of religious and non religious books (and yes - I've read the Bible), I thought that Sam Harris did a better job than say, Richard Dawkins in keeping the 'snark' out of his arguments. He also had some very good comparisons and analogies. His argument for stem cell research was a powerful one: a three day old human embryo, aka: blastocyst, has 150 cells, while the brain of a fly has more than 100,000 and if you think that the blastocyst has a soul, then you should consider that 50% of all conceptions end in spontaneous abortion usually without the woman even realizing it, and 20% of all recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage - which would "make God the most prolific abortionist of all time." The book is full of these little gems and is well worth reading. My biggest problem with it is that those who should read it won't.

Ray Merlos oficinasme30d6 — In the first book of the series ‘Hex Hall’ Sophie Mercer always thought she was a witch who couldn’t control her powers, she was sent to Hex Hall, a reform school for delinquent paranormal children. There she discovered that she is actually a powerful demon, just like her dad, and they are the only two in the world. Utterly scared of her powers, and after the events of the first book, scared of what she could potentially become, in Demonglass Sophie requests that her powers be removed; a very dangerous procedure that could end up with her being very dead. Her dad flies her to London along with her friend Jenna, and Cal. There she discovers that two more demons have been raised and this is very worrisome indeed. The eye is still looking for her and a war between the two movements is imminent. Lots of twists, turns edge of the seat danger and betrayals that leave the reader set up for the final book in the trilogy. Loved it - have the next book on its way to me - ended on a cliff hanger, what is going to,happen in the final book?
