early christmas present...

okay, so maybe it's wrong of me to buy myself a christmas present, but i did it anyway. i just purchased _the god delusion_, the newest richard dawkins book. i have no idea what i'm going to think of it, but i'm really intrigued. and i knew that if i asked for it from a member of my family or, erm, "santa claus", it would mean having to endure at least one, but maybe several awkward conversations in which i would be asked why i don't believe in god and other nonsense.

so, yeah. there you go. thoughts to follow.
