delludedgod: great stuff.
Mr.Rage: exactly.
I find it also odd that he says he wrote the book for Xians who don't understand their Faith.
Wow. I know some Xians are arrogant, but here is one admitting that he is going to tell other Xians how they should view their beliefs.
The self-righteous presumptiveness aside, one has to wonder why someone would believe in something they don't understand?
It seems this is just another case of a guy willing to take advantage of the poor Xian sheep to make a buck. The arguments are always the same but they just keep using different stories to explain them. Dressing a pig in Vera Wang, doesn't make a beautiful woman.
Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds through all the centuries since the Bible was written. And it is these ignorant people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking among us, who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all; who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us; who would invade our schools and libraries and homes. I personally resent it bitterly.
