Publisher Description
A series of essays on various subjects that concern religion and it's influence around the world and how that hinders and poisons relations between nations.
Outspoken is a collection of essays and personal stories that I have used to guide my life and how I conduct myself in the face of ignorance of faith and those who continue to push it upon others. Within this books are arguments and points that I have made over numerous debates with people of faith through out the last twenty years since I declared myself a non-believer.
I release this book not to just sway minds but to educate and provoke debate amongst people who have spoken about these issues before. What you do with this knowledge and debate from there is up to you.

Evidence for God.
I dedicate this review to Mr. Lowry because this is the only way I am able to reach him.
Dear Mr. Lowry, I wrote you this letter because there is proof that there is a God in heaven.
Egyptian chariot wheels have been found on the floor of the Red Sea, proving Israel’s Red Sea crossing in Exodus 14 actually happened. Don’t believe me? Look it up there’s videos!
Is it humanly possible to part the sea? Nope, this was done by the almighty God.
Was the “Big Bang” an explanation in time, space, and matter, or of time, space, and matter? It was an explanation of time, space, and matter; that means that these things didn’t exist before the “Big Bang.” That means whatever caused what we call natural to come into existence must be above nature, that means, it must be supernatural. Is radiation supernatural? Nope.
And is it humanly possible to prophesy? Nope, yet even so, in 70 AD the Roman emperor Titus destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple (after biblical times) in the fulfillment of Jesus’ prophecy in Luke 21:20-24; the church in Jerusalem saw the signs and fled to the district of the Decapolis. The restoration of Israel in the year 1948 was also a fulfillment of biblical prophesy.
I want to tell you of another prophecy, this one has not yet been fulfilled; it is found in Revelation 13, Daniel 9:27, Daniel 11:21-45, Daniel 12:11, and Mathew 24:15-22, and is about the Antichrist and the Abomination of desolation. But when will these horrors come? When Jesus said "So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place…” -Mathew 24:15, he indicated that the Abomination of Desolation would be standing in the Temple at Jerusalem. (as the Temple has two parts, the Holy place, and the Holy of Holies.) But it cannot if there is no Holy place, as you may know the Temple was destroyed in 70 AD.
Thus one of the signs that will foreshadow the coming of the Antichrist and the Abomination of Desolation is the Temple’s rebuilding; after that it’s but a matter of time.
So, how will we know that these things are at hand? By the things that the Antichrist, (the first beast -Rev. 13:1-10) his prophet, (the second beast -Rev. 11-15) and The image of the beast (Rev. 13:15-18) will do. To make this short, I’ll just say “read the verses listed above.” There’s only one set of people that will do these things. (making fire come down from heaven in front of people, declaring that all people have to be marked on the forehead or right hand, preforming a mass slaughter of those who don’t follow them, etc.)
In truth, there is evidence that God exists, and I have just given it to you, yet it is your choice whether you believe or not. I would advise you to change the path you have chosen in life, but I cannot force you. May God bless you.
P. S. The list of verses you quoted from the Old Testament (like the Egyptian who was stoned for gathering sticks on a Sabbath) were enforced for the sole purpose of showing how terrible sin is before God, and for showing us that we desperately need Jesus.
