“(Religious worldview or scientific view) It would be nice to have both, but suppose that isn't possible? Which one should we keep? It's not a straightforward question is it? Terrible things are done in the name of religion, without a doubt, but it was not religion but science that brought the world itself to the brink of destruction.” —The Holy Machine.
I am a Christian, and it is ironic how much this book gets right. Mocking and scorn, but truth exist in the simple context that I believe that I am a poor miserable sinner that is forgiven through Jesus Christ His only Son. This book balances mocking of many faiths, and yet the realization that one can not live on knowledge alone. Sermon over.
