			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I mentioned in my previous post, it is time for me to read some more. I love my friends, and I know they love me, just look at the wonderful diversity of books I received!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hugovdm/2145698763/" title="Sum Books Fer Mai Biffday! by hugovdm, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2247/2145698763_7d91aeafc7.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Sum Books Fer Mai Biffday!" /></a></p>
<p>All of these came from friends that read my blog and comment sometimes. <em>Does God Believe in Atheists</em> is actually on loan, not for keeps. The notes added in that picture are my uninformed tongue-in-cheek satirical summary of my initial impression of the standpoints of the authors. Don&#8217;t take those notes too seriously. I have not yet read any books by any of these authors, though I have started on one of Rob Bell&#8217;s books and seen him &#8220;live&#8221; on multiple occasions.</p>
<p>Below the fold is the list of books and my comments, for those that cannot make out the photo above, and do not want to download a higher resolution version.</p>
<p><span id="more-236"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion &#8211; <em>Atheists say God does not exist</em></li>
<li>John Blanchard, Does God Believe in Atheists &#8211; <em>God says atheists do not exist</em></li>
<li>Rob Bell, Sex God &#8211; <em>Let&#8217;s define &#8220;God&#8221; as something that DOES exist, rather than something that DOES NOT</em></li>
<li>Paul Kurtz, Embracing the Power of Humanism &#8211; <em>So what is this &#8220;Humanism&#8221; thing then?</em></li>
</ul>
<p>Another book I received, that does not fall directly into the main book theme, is Steven Pressfield&#8217;s <em>The War of Art</em>. As I understand it, this book was given to me more for the purpose of critical evaluation than for direct personal enrichment. Hehe, I love my friends. (And I wish we had more words for different kinds of &#8220;love&#8221;. Like the Greeks do, for example.)</p>
<p>You might notice I recently had some fun tearing holes in pages from thesis drafts, then tackling them with spray paint. My flickr account has <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hugovdm/tags/sumbooksfermaibiffday/">more photos of the fun I had</a>.</p>
