Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, my excuse is that I have been busying myself with reading. Yes, reading...?!?
What am I reading? Recently I am (for some reason) intrigued by religion, namely the organised kind. You know the faith healing, money grubbing, hate promoting, sin pushing kind.
And by coincident I bump into these two resources that has truly captured my imagination:
- The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins - Scientist, Philosopher and Intellectual
- A Piece of Blue Sky: Scientology, Dianetics & L. Ron Hubbard Exposed by Jon Atack - former Scientologist and archivist
The fact that I am reading both books in unison is indeed a strange and somewhat enriching experience. But this doesn't leave me much spare time to blog.
I will report on my findings of these readings soon. Stay tuned...

you're too poor and not pretty enough for sciencetology. Stick with buhdism, they have lower standards and more accepting of ppl with no hair :)
Isnt organised religion really just a less motivated cult with money changing hands?

From what I read, they take the king's bullion as well as the beggar's penny...

I would have thought organised religion are more motivated than cults, they have way more money at stake...
