A. C. Grayling: “The Good Book: A Humanist Bible”
http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2011/04/11/leading-atheist-publishes-secular-bible/?hpt=T2

Has anyone here looked at this book yet? It sounds interesting, but I just got a link to this story minutes ago so I haven't had much time to research the book myself.

I'm not sure about calling it a "bible", but then again, if Graying didn't use that word, the book probably wouldn't be getting so much attention. It's smart marketing at the very least. :)

1. Interesting article. Did you pick up the suggestion that Bibles
ought to consider the poetry of Baudelaire? I think that might even be Charles Baudelaire, one of the most controversial folks to ever pick up a pen and author of some of the most intentionally disturbing (although effective and powerful) poetry ever created.

Sunday school teacher: "Class, today we'll be reading 'Une Charogne.'"

Mass exit.
