An Aheist's Thought

Just came across Save America From Itself--an atheist Harry Bathwater's blog, I am feeling quite interesting and reasonable. Below are selected excerpts from one of its posts:

The world is heading in a dangerous direction and it's because of this pernicious belief in god.

A belief in god shows a dramatic lack of understanding of the real world.

We have created god for two reasons.

1. It is a way of explaining things we don't understand. Death, the weather etc.

2. It is a fantastic way for a lot of people to make a living.

God and the devil is a "carrot and stick" designed to make us do what someone else wants us to do and there a lot of people in the world telling us we need to contribute to their church to please god. It is the biggest confidence trick ever.

Nokia N999

Aalaap Ghag of MoneyControl says:

Bigger just is better - that seems to be the mantra over at Nokia. After the hugely successful and also successfully huge Nokia N90, the designers figured they could go the extra mile. If the phone is already as big as a baton and people are lovin' it, why not just make it a wee bit bigger and some more features to appease the gadget hungry? Enter the Nokia N999, featuring a best-in-class 22 megapixel digital camera, 8-channel surround audio coming out from each twistable side of the phone, a full-size 16X dual-layer DVD burner instead of the prick-sized memory cards in use today, a 9-inch (diagonal) plasma (not LCD!) display capable of 1024×768!.....

Isn't it a super handphone? Go HERE to find more about this versatile cellphone! :-) (Picture credit: MoneyControl)
