We are reading Christopher Hitchens – The Missionary Position (Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice) for our next book club meeting on February 23rd. There is one copy available through the book library and it’s a short book so definitely readable in a hour or two. Please email vicepresident@edmontonatheist.ca if you’d like to borrow the extra copy.
The book library is open to current members only, if you are interested in a membership check out our membership/merchandise tab.
That is a GREAT read!
I also enjoyed this book. 🙂
Hitch is one of the great orators of our time, there are very few people that have the talent to be enjoyable to listen to even if you disagree with him.
Love him or hate him, he brings you to your decision in an entertaining and educational way that cannot help but cause you to think about the topic.

this is part of a greater issue, Christian doctrine teaches us that suffering leads to grace, this has brought forth all sorts of twisted individuals that delight in making others suffer for their faith.
from the Spanish inquisition to recent deaths of children in the states tortured for jesus, mentally ill sadistic people have found a welcome home in many churches where their particular brand of evil spreads in the name of love.
