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.
I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.

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)

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