It's very good for understanding Jesus' message and the differentiations between chuch and God as a figure. It's a good read for Christians and atheists alike, and I'd urge some of you to check it out.
Not sure if this is the right place for this, but oh well, I wanted to post it somewhere.
(1) No offence,but why on earth should I read anything you recommend? So far I've seen little evidence of critical or independent thought from you.
(2) Your suggestion is patronising in the extreme. Many of the people here are former Christians who developed the ability to think rationally about their superstitions. Many have a deep knowledge of Christian doctrine ,theology and history.
(3) Books on the life of Jesus,Christianity and theology all have the same basic flaw: A presumption that there is a god,which is in fact THE disagreement between theists and atheists . The books are meaningless to this atheist. You're getting a little ahead of yourself. First prove the existence of god. Until that time,kindly keep your inane and patronsing suggestions to yourself.
