I am having a fantastic time travelling the universe with a new iPad app by Collins (HarperCollins), the BBC, Professor Brian Cox and Andrew Cohen.
It is a brilliant way to show people the massiveness and the grandure of the universe. To think that we are only one planet among many planets, circling a star among many stars, in a galaxy among many galaxies, clumped up in clusters and themselves in super clusters in an address in the universe called the Centaurus Great Wall!

As we commit to more and more projects, it gets harder to work on other things and occassionally, it pays to pause and assess the results and the effectiveness of each alternative. In my case, I have been involved in a non-profit organisation in the last few years since The Tyranny of God was released, initially as a Secretary and later on, to be its President. These activities do take time - perhaps a little too much time - I could otherwise spend on reading and writing books, blogging and so on. You might have noticed that I have not blogged as frequently...
American Soldier Murdered for Being Atheist

An American Soldier - Spc. Jose Ramirez was murdered by another soldier - Justin Green. Green's siter believes he killed Ramirez "because Ramirez did not believe in God". "Green, his sister Brittany and friend Stephanie Heaston-Corral worked together to hide the body and clean up".
According to a police report (posted by Rawstory.com),
"After burying the body, the group went to Brittany's apartment, ordered a pizza and bread sticks with Ramirez's credit card, and Brittany signed it using Ramirez's last name."
"Texas Ranger Marshall W. Thomas claimed in his report that officers detected blood at a rural home in Petrolia, Texas after two individuals with knowledge of the crime came forward. They discovered the soldier's body buried face down in a shallow grave, with both of his legs sticking out of the ground, covered by a tire and random trash..."
Where is the power of religion to guide people to be moral? Where is this wise, loving god to guide Green away from committing such brutality?

The Tyranny Of God
Paperback Edition
Is there a God? Where do the animals, plants and human beings come from? Are scriptures the words of gods? Does religion teach us to live moral lives? Why do so many people kill and are killed over it? How should we live our lives if God exists? How should we live it if God does NOT exist?
This book explores the truth behind our beliefs in God and the propensity of human beings to be religious. In an honest attempt to seek the answers to life's deepest questions, I probe into how life began. I then progress to investigate the true nature of religions and their impact on our lives and the rest of humanity.
The main purpose of this book is not to argue against religion. Rather, it tells our story and how we have come to oppress ourselves with the tyranny of our own beliefs. I wrote this book to include everything I discovered to be relevant in my search for the truth, not just the truth behind God and morality, but also behind us and our existence. Instead of reading this book with the expectation that it is trying to prove the tyranny of God, I would like to recommend you read it as a story book: as a book that tells the story of humanity from the Big Bang.
REVIEW
"While Comelab's writing is always moderate in tone, its message clearly undermines current distractions with accommodationist arguments towards presumed religious "moderates". It is written with the fresh confidence of a young man who has had early success in his adopted country and only recently come to realise the truth of atheism. For those like me whose only worry about Atheism has long been its faultering progress, Comelab reminds us that much of the energy must continue to come from those who have more recently learned the truth. He seems more than bright enough to soon progress to seeing atheism not as an end but as a starting point to the kind of understanding that should enable us to work towards a future incomparably better than any heaven the faithful can imagine."
