Divine Nonsense: A Nonbeliever's Review of The Bible
You've heard it called "The Good Book." Now find out what actually happens when someone reads it - critically, skeptically, and cover to cover.
Divine Nonsense: A Nonbeliever's Review of the Bible is a witty, intelligent, and unapologetically skeptical deep dive into the most influential book in Western history. Written for atheists, agnostics, deconstructing believers, and anyone who suspects the Bible might not deserve its sacred pedestal, this book breaks down the entire King James Version - one book at a time - exposing contradictions, moral failures, historical oddities, and theological absurdities with clarity, insight, and biting humor.
This is not just a surface-level roast or a list of cherry-picked verses. It's a full-scale book-by-book analysis that treats the Bible as it actually is: a sprawling, inconsistent collection of ancient texts written by humans with agendas, assumptions, and a very different understanding of the world.
What you'll find inside:
Straightforward summaries of every book in the Bible - from Genesis to Revelation - each one critically unpacked and stripped of religious gloss
Contradiction analysis that highlights inconsistencies both within books and across scripture as a whole
Reality checks that ask whether the Bible's claims make sense morally, scientifically, or historically
Commentary that's irreverent but informed, funny but factual, and above all, unafraid to say the quiet part out loud
A perspective grounded in secular reasoning, historical context, and modern ethical standards - not ancient fear or blind reverence
Whether it's God's mood swings in the Old Testament, Paul's obsession with hierarchy, or Revelation's monster-movie endgame, Divine Nonsense shows how this supposedly timeless moral guidebook is anything but timeless - and often morally bankrupt.
If you've ever:
Wondered how anyone still takes the Bible literally
Felt frustrated by cherry-picked verses used to justify bigotry
Left religion behind and wanted to understand what you were taught (or traumatized by)
Or simply want to laugh and learn while watching the Bible's foundations crumble under scrutiny...
This book is for you.
Divine Nonsense doesn't insult your intelligence. It speaks directly to it - with no theological training required, no reverence demanded, and no patience for bad ideas just because they're ancient.
It's time to read the Bible with your brain turned on.
And once you do, don't be surprised if the only thing divine about it... is the nonsense.Customer Reviews
