Hi, what are some of the best books you know that debunk Christianity? I have started reading Jesus for the Non-Religious by John Shelby Spong and I have Misquoting Jesus and Forged by Bart Ehrman. What are some others you'd recommend? I'd also be grateful if anyone knows any free books on the topic (possibly older ones).

the bible
properly read it is the strongest argument against christianity 
Its a cliché but the best book that debunks Christianity is the bible.
Have you read it? awful awful book. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis. 
The Bible.
Hands down. #1 problem for Christianity. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
You're your best book against Christianity and other man-made religions.
The God Delusion is pretty well known. I haven't actually read any books debunking christianity, but I did was Steve Shive's "An Atheist Reads" series. Where he reads christian books, and comments on them as an atheist.
And as has been mentioned before, reading the bible with an objective eye, and learning about the history surrounding the times it talks about, will give you a better picture of why the book was written in that way. There's a video linked in my sig where someone explains that the bible has more to do with astronomy than anything else. There's information out there, and this is why christianity is declining in most developed countries. religion in general is declining in developed countries.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
10 Christ-like figures that predate Jesus. Link shortened to Chris ate Jesus for some reason... http://listverse.com/2009/04/13/10-chris...ate-jesus/ Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88GTUXvp-50 A list of biblical contradictions from the infallible word of Yahweh. http://infidels.org/library/modern/jim_m...tions.html 
Pretty good book is 50 Simple Questions for Every Christian by Guy Harrison. That guy also wrote other interesting books dealing similar subjects like 50 Popular Beliefs That People Think are True
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
So, they look over Holy Scripture and work up this Salvation Flow Chart:
![[Image: rcc-justification-flow.jpg]](https://feileadhmor.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/rcc-justification-flow.jpg) Kinda looks like there's a bit of a PROBLEM in the Bible, don't it ?? Almost wonder why there's an Atheist Forums, LOL! The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Books and arguments for debunking xtianity matter a good deal less than whether your intended audience is open to hearing it debunked. Probably not. Try live and let live. Doctor, debunk thyself. |
