The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever |
Christopher Hitchens, the #1 New York Times best-selling author that gave us his brilliant take on religion's malevolence in God Is Not Great yet again delivers arguments for a fantastic universe where a god does not exist in this collection of influential voices who have shaped the landscape of the non-believers' side in today’s raging “to believe or not to believe” debate.
The Portable Atheist is a controversial, thought-provoking and entertaining tour of atheism and agnosticism in history, featuring insights from notable authors such as Salman Rushdie and Ian McEwan, as well as those from outspoken gender equality activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Readers can expect to be regaled by Hitchen’s wit while being guided through words from Benedict de Spinoza, Lucretius, Charles Darwin, Mark Twain, Karl Marx, George Eliot, Emma Goldman, Bertrand Russell, H. L. Mencken, Daniel Dennett and Albert Einstein among others. Works from other notable atheists such as Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins are also featured.

While reading about philosophical perspectives on meaning and existence, I came across something quite different but equally reflective — https://piemont.com.ua/cottages/alpen/
. I discovered it while browsing for Scandinavian-style housing near Kyiv and instantly appreciated its harmony between nature and comfort. The design reminds me of alpine cabins but with a modern touch. You can imagine cozy evenings with soft light and the forest just outside your window. It’s simple yet thoughtful in every detail — the kind of balance that feels both grounding and inspiring.
Dat klinkt als een interessante en diepgaande kijk op religie, maar zelf was ik onlangs op zoek naar iets dat me gewoon even plezier en ontspanning gaf. Tijdens dat zoeken kwam ik toevallig terecht op https://chicken-roads.be en probeerde ik een paar casinospellen. De eerste rondes gingen niet goed, maar toen ik wat meer risico nam bij een slotspel, kwam er ineens een mooie winst uit. Voor spelers uit België zijn er bovendien speciale bonussen die het extra spannend maken. Sindsdien is het mijn manier geworden om even te ontspannen en gewoon plezier te hebben, zonder al te veel nadenken.
