The editor of this book started with a simple premise: what you know about god, faith, your religion, the Bible-all that is dead wrong. And in some ways, this compilation did a good job illustrating that. He collected various writings to explain all the reasons why religion is a bit screwy, though I don't think he is successful at showing that belief in god is screwy. I think he does a better job of showing that blind acceptance of religious precepts and blind dismissal of other ideas is foolish because it makes no logical sense to think your ideas are any better than someone else's. This might be a better way of showing why religious tolerance is important. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

In this mega-anthology from best-selling editor Russ Kick, more than fifty writers, reporters, and researchers invade the inner sanctum for an unrestrained look at the wild and wooly world of organized belief. Richard Dawkins shows us the strange, scary properties of religion; Neil Gaiman turns a biblical atrocity story into a comic (that almost sent a publisher to prison); Erik Davis looks at what happens when religion and California collide; Mike Dash eyes stigmatics; Douglas Rushkoff exposes the trouble with Judaism; Paul Krassner reveals his "Confessions of an Atheist"; and best-selling lexicographer Jonathon Green interprets the language of religious prejudice. Among the dozens of other articles and essays, you?ll find: a sweeping look at classical composers and Great American Songbook writers who were unbelievers, such as Irving Berlin, creator of "God Bless America"; the definitive explanation of why America is not a Christian nation; the bizarre, Catholic-fundamentalist books by Mel Gibson?s father; eye-popping photos of bizarre religious objects and ceremonies, including snake-handlers and pot-smoking children; the thinly veiled anti-Semitism in the Left Behind novels; an extract from the rare, suppressed book The Sex Life of Brigham Young; and rarely seen anti-religious writings from Mark Twain and H.G. Wells. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
