Confronting Christianity

I made the mistake of listening to this one instead of getting it in print. The audiobook is fine! It's read by the author! But I kept wishing that I had it in front of me, because this should not have been as difficult for me to get through as it ended up being. I officially stalled out in chapter 7, “Hasn't Science Disproved Christianity?” I don't love science stuff anyway, and it's gotta be REAL interesting to hold my attention, and I couldn't make myself keep going after that.

Though I do have to say, I learned a LOT in the chapter “Doesn't Religion Cause Violence?” especially as related to Nazi Germany - I had no idea (but maybe should have guessed) that the Nazis of course distorted Christianity to suit their needs. Including creating their own version of the Bible, in which they replaced Jesus with the Fuhrer and the entire Old Testament was removed so as to erase all reference to Jews being God's chosen people, among other things.

Basically, if this topic sounds interesting to you, give it a try. This was a personal failing, not a failing on the part of the book. Maybe I'll try again in print another time.
