[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] The "Unabridged" note on top is pretty funny. I picked this book up in a Barn's and Noble and because it was so slim decided to wait until I had time for a cop of coffee so I could read the whole thing inside the store. I think I could finish it while the coffee is still hot. ~ Rick [/ QUOTE ] It's an easy, quick read...but brilliant nonetheless. [/ QUOTE ] The other reason I skipped on it for now is that it seems to be more of a follow on to The End of Faith (which wasn't on the shelf). ~ Rick |

@ "Letter to a Christian Nation". I thought we had a book review thread 6 months or a year ago about it, but can't successfully search it. [/ QUOTE ] I think this is the thread you're looking for. |

Re: Recommend me books about Christianity/Religion
The best book I may have read on religion is A History of God
The problem with the book is that it is very dense, with a lot more detail about a lot of religions than you might want. But many sections are fascinating. And Armstrong does a nice job of articulating a theory of how conceptions of God have changed according to the needs of the time. I encourage anyone to read it, with the caveat that there are probably some parts that you will want to breeze through. |

Re: Recommend me books about Christianity/Religion
God is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens is the best book on the subject I've ever read. Sam Harris' The End of Faith is a close second.

Bertrand Russel - Why I am not a Christian.
This was a really influential book in my life 10 or so years ago. |

[ QUOTE ] Bertrand Russel - Why I am not a Christian. [/ QUOTE ] seconded. [/ QUOTE ] yeah, I just read it a few days ago and found it interesting, although if I were a believer I don't think it would be enough to convince me otherwise (or even get close). It's a lecture you can read here: http://users.drew.edu/~jlenz/whynot.html |
