Not bad different

"The Ways of an Atheist" is certainly a different cup of tea - not a typical defense of a-theism. This is a collection of about 30 two to three page essays ranging from his personel religious opinions to listings of outrageous factiods on the three Abraham religions:Judaism, Christianity and Islam. I checked out on the net some of the presented information in a few of these essays that were most questionable to me such as the Jesus-Buddha mythology and the yoni art designs incorporated in Catholic church art. Sure enough, these parallels exist. While his writing style and argument approach aren't going to win adherents from believers and certainly will piss off some true atheists, his essays will make you think. I recommend buying a used copy and spending a few hours in a coffee shop. Its a quick read.

GOOD START FOR THIS TOPIC

Excellent book, well written, to the heart of the problem, you can see that is written by somebody who has studied the Bible and other sacred text of the 3 most important world religions.I didn't like the way was edited though. In any case a good introduction of a good first book for somebody who dare to venture in such complicated topic.

Something different

Certainly a nice change of pace for a topic of this nature. 5 starts simply for this reason.
