Publisher Description
Is it good for the world that all religions appeal to our gullibility and not our sceptical sides? To worship a God that takes sides in wars and human affairs, to terrify children with the imaginary (but very real to them) image of hell and eternal punishment of themselves and the ones they love and that considers women to be an inferior creation and that insists that we were created rather then evolved, even in the face of all of the evidence?
Customer Reviews
Amatuer and Surface-level
This book is obviously constructed by an amatuer internet atheist type. While he probably deserves a “good job” for being able to construct such a book, the book itself (its content) is a embarassingly bad.
In just the first few pages there are several typos “Aids in bad” which should be “Aids is bad” and “In justice” instead of “injustice”, not to mention the howler that women are “half the human race.” Clue to the author: the fact that people are (usually) male or female does not logically entail that women compose half the human race.
The goal of the book is to show that theists are delusional. The level of argument presented is illustrated by the following excerpt: “A Muslim has the same reasons for being a Muslim as Catholics do for being Catholic… Can a Catholic prove that Allah is not the true God? Of course not.”
If you’re a new atheist and you want to read a string of surface level assertions and denials that affirm your new atheism and you don’t mind wading through typos and the occasional howler, then go ahead and get this book. If you’re looking for something more scholarly, try Elaine Ecklund’s book Science vs. Religion.
Science is lame without religion-Albert Einstein
If the greatest scientist/physicist of all time even admits this, why do people continue to separate the two!
Don't waste your time
Why read it when the description tells you the author's slant immediately? He's not going to convince anyone of anything writing like this.
