The book that really made my mind up was Bertrand Russell's "Why I am Not a Christian."
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.

That is an AMAZING read, Rev. I read that on Kauai years ago while doing some introspection. I have all of Russell's books, and that one and The Conquest of Happiness, remain my favorites.

Go for the bible, when you quit after 70 pages of waffle like most 'christians', you'll see why barely any of them know anything about it.

Its ironic how the easiest weapon against a Christian is the Bible.

Well, the damned things weigh four, five pounds. Drop one from a ten story building and you got a serious weapon.

if you want to know about the bible ask an athiest we actually read it haha ( stole that quote from somewhere it is not my own)
"You know, I know this steak doesn't exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss." -Cypher (the matrix)

I question why Christians don't read through the Bible thoroughly. Is it plainly because passages in the Bible contradict the Christians beliefs.

Had a big impact on me too,when I read it in 1971.

"The God Delusion" and "God Is Not Great "are both polemics ;the authors lifted their main arguments from Russell



I also recommend listening to the famous radio debate between Fr Frederick C Copleton (SJ) and Bertrand Russell (1948) (both parts linked below)
