I Don't Believe in God, Jesus or the Bible. God's Manual on Atheism and Other Religions‪.‬

This book (or perhaps an introduction to another book) is altogether nice. There are, however, some typos & many concepts that are oversimplified throughout the text. I do not believe that this would have any persuasion towards an academic. However, to the atheist or unbeliever who doesn't know any better, this is a very useful tool. I commend Free From Bondage Ministry for writing this & speaking to the heart & the mind.

What I would have done would have been to have this edited by several theologians & typists. I would also have deeply studied (if this wasn't done already) the philosophies & arguments of prominent atheists within the academic communities. I would have given several examples of Christian persecution & the corruption of Christian values like...
- The murder of Hypatia of Alexandria by Christian thugs.
- The numerous unbiblical papal bulls made during the Dark Ages & Counter Reformation.
- The Salem Witch Trials.
I would also summarize the weak points within other beliefs as well. There should also be a consistent explanation as to whether the historical content within the modern Bible is true and accessible, or false/withered away.

I got through this pretty quickly, & it was more good than bad. I am glad that this book at least acknowledges that the earth is NOT thousands of years old. I give a solid 3!

So I'm a person of faith.... But after reading less than the first two pages I realized whoever wrote this was either intoxicated or having fun with other people of faith or religion. I'm just going to say this book had to be written under the influence.... Of something. Most atheists will read this and probably say, "and this is why we don't believe in God.... Christians are mocking us, and they also seem to have a lot to drink or smoke..."

Well, this was a waste of 20 minutes...
the argument lacks some serious logical consistency, but I guess I give them credit for even trying. But in all seriousness, logical fallacies abound.

Let me save you the trouble of reading this poorly written farce:
1) give a poor portrayal of evolutionary history by suggesting prehistoric man were actually 'angels',

2) imply that humanity cannot trust their thoughts, whatsoever,

3) then imply that those who "chose" not to believe in Christianity are being telepathically manipulated.

This entire argument (tantamount to decreeing, "I know you are, but what am I?") freely reinterprets scripture to fit their nonsense (where's the evidence that god's days were any different from man's? That's right, they made that up.), then insults your intelligence by implying that "your thoughts aren't your own".

The whole thing's illogical. If I'm being telepathically manipulated, then I have no free will, and neither did Adam and eve, in eating the apple. If they couldn't distinguish their thoughts from the serpents, then how could they be held accountable for their actions? I could go on, but I'd be giving undue credence to a ridiculous pamphlet, written by people horribly unskilled in the act of intellectual honesty...

which, is that at all surprising, if we're just supposed to blame "[whomever] told us?"
