Reason is a part of religious thought, ‘Suzie.’ I have sometimes doubted the existence of God and Jesus, but after reading passages from the Holy Bible, my faith is always rejuvenated! I also have the great luck of being born into a religious family, all of whom have great logic, one of whom is a teacher, one is a librarian, one is a doctor, and they all have faith in God, and give good reasons to believe in God. It’s alright if you disagree with me, I just wish these books and reviews wouldn’t give random, insensible tantrums about religion being fake. 4/5 of all people in the world are religious, are you really going to talk to them like that in real life? I doubt it, and if you do, you are no better than a racist, a racist against religion, a racist against the Divine. Well, hope you like this book, I guess. Please don’t murder me.

The author make clear, concise arguments based on logic and common sense. If one could suspend one’s belief in superstition, ignorance, fear, and tradition, one could see the truth in the author’s reasoning. The religious know they are right because they have faith and they have faith because they know they are right. Logic, reason and common sense have no meaning in their world.

Is this audiobook worth listening to? ... go for it. But what are you afraid of?... reasonably intelligent people seeing through your ridiculous lies? If you were to read the Bible for youself, you will see through these essays as tripe and short sighted... having no conception of cultural and historical context, mystical meaning and spiritual depth. These essays are more absurd than they claim the Bible to be. The Bible is the most profound and widely read book ever written... it has influenced man and history more than any book ever has or will. Don't read it?... your loss.
