have some fun reading this book

There are some 400 books out there whose main theme is that God's existence is doubtful and religion's effects dangerous. But this one: a) is funny (I mean really funny, even if you read it twice) and b) It offers an alternative, what the author calls neo-humanism.

Three words, funny, funny, funny!

I only graduated from high school, and even though I am an atheist, I usually avoid reading books on atheism, because they are heavy with philosophical terms, comparisons with other unpronounceable philosophies and the like. A friend told me about this one. It is easy to understand and enjoy the humor. I like it that the author does not take himself too serious, and even laughs at himself. Also, he explains what we are doing here, what we should be doing, and why. All the other guys (my friend says) just write why we should not believe.

Are You Mission Happy?

Are you mission happy? In the theism versus atheism debate, morality is a gigantic subject. The religious "moral high horse" is easily knocked down, and Dr. Tzannes knocks it down with professional ease. What is harder to do is explain non-religious morality (especially to someone that needs a god to tell them how to behave). Morality based on happiness and fulfillment has been proposed before, but it has proven difficult to define "happiness" and even more difficult to setup a standard of "happiness" that can apply to all cultures and all communities. Dr. Tzannes has accomplished that task with his Neo-Humanism Theory. Dr. Tzannes puts into theory (using the scientific presentation) what many have tried to articulate before. The Neo-Humanism Theory holds great merit and ties together the thinking of almost all non-theists. Dr. Tzannes keeps the book in lay terms, allowing for a greater audience (although he admits he didn't write the book to de-convert anyone). The use of personal dialogues to elaborate on his ideas is extremely useful for expressing those very ideas; the dialogues give the reader the ability to see the ideas mold themselves and become concrete. You may not agree with some of the details of Dr. Tzannes' book, but the Neo-Humanism Theory is unarguably one of the best propositions for answering the question about non-religious morality and tackling the definition of happiness and setting up a standard that can be used worldwide.

Fun Book and Useful Also

I enjoyed this book so much that I had my two teenagers also read it. They loved it. We are all going to adopt the author's philosophy of life and practice it daily.

Great Read

This book exposes all religions for what they really are-scams-and also explains why most people fall prey to them. It took some genuine courage to write.The author's "neo-humanism" theory is quite intriguing!
