I want to find out if Christopher Hitchens’ book “God is Not Great” has been discussed. Problem is, the words which would normally help to find it, are under the minumum character count for SDMB searches (‘God’ and ‘Not’) Has there been a discussion of this rather controversial acid-toned book? (not that that’s a criticism on my part!) ---

Gfactor beat me by a couple of minutes but all I did to find it was to search for “Hitchens.” Did that seriously not occur to you? ---

[QUOTE=hajario] Gfactor beat me by a couple of minutes but all I did to find it was to search for “Hitchens.” Did that seriously not occur to you? [/QUOTE] No, because I didn’t want to not get threads that didn’t have ‘Hitchens’ in the title. But you’re right - it never occured to me that they’ll still have ‘Hitchens’ in the body or the thread at least somewhere. So I hereby state, for the record that: DOH! ---
