 | | 39. God Is Not Great | | | Author: Hitchens, Christopher Publisher: Grand Central Pub | | Publish Date: 5/1/2007 Format: Hardcover | User Rating: 4.5 |  | God Is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens - Book Review By: Baritone - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 5/30/2007 7:21 PM | | In God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, Hitchens has put together an intelligent and methodical dismantling of religion. He opens with the story of a childhood teacher, a Mrs. Jean Watts, who inadvertantly brought Hitchens' own belief to a crashing halt by first exalting nature as God's great creation saying "So you see, children, how powerful and generous God is. He has made all the trees and grass to be green, which is exactly the color that is most restful to our eyes." But then, much to young Hitchens' consternation she continues, "Imagine if instead, the vegetation was all purple, or orange, how awful that would be." At age nine, Christopher Hitchens knew that his teacher had "managed to get everything wrong in just two sentences. The eyes were adjusted to nature, not the other way around."
