Title: The Waste of a Lunch Break
Review: Any book that starts out by stating that it is based on sound scholarship is, in my view, immediately suspect. That even a "wah-wah" publisher such as Prometheus would bother to print such drivel is entirely beyond me. It is, as another reviewer has stated, a pointless hodge-podge of at best minimally related subjects. The author's views on various theological and Christian issues are laughable and based on the "argument from outrage", i.e., the idea that the God of the Bible does not exist because he is branded a moral monster. For example, he concludes that God effectively raped various women in the Bible, which is of course both utterly offensive and patently disprovable. This is a claim I have heard stated by atheists before, but I never thought I would actually see it in print. By the time I got through the first twenty pages or so I knew I wasting my time, and souring an otherwise perfectly good shrimp scampi. 1 star is too much for this garbage.
Is the review positive or negative?
