What were they thinking?
February 13, 2008

Last week I was startled to discover a targeted email from Amazon offering me “New and Notable Releases in Religion and Spirituality”.
Offering to me.
All I can think is that either:
- Amazon’s suggestions algorithm is arse backward
- There is a god and he/she/it/they/whatever is giving me a sign
- Someone at Amazon saw my purchases of “Letting go of God” and “Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark” and thought they’d take the piss.
I mean no one’s crazy enough to read Deepak bloody Chopra. Surely?
Good grief.

I got the same thing after I ordered “Why the Religious Right Is Wrong About Separation of Church and State” by Rob Boston
