Oh, Your God!

The Evil Idea That Is Religion

De: Joshua Kelly

Narrado por: Rich Miller

This book is not just for atheists, but for antitheists - for people who celebrated the writing of Christopher Hitchens and miss his voice.

Making the provocative assertion that the entire enterprise of organized religion is a thing for which the world and our species would have been better without, Oh, Your God! follows in the footsteps of the material observations of Lucretius, Epicurus, and Democritus, and the more recent anti-theistic arguments of Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins.

Drawing from timeless philosophers, modern debates, historical events, and current social climes, Joshua Kelly illustrates the shameful and debilitating damage religion has caused - and continues to cause - whether to our psyches, our bodies, our societies, or our world. Citing the murders of Nigeria's "witch children", the subversion of sexual emancipation, the tethers of slavery, the attacks of September 11, the pseudo morality of monotheistic mythology, the subjugation of women, and much more, he provides an abundance of damning evidence to back up his claims. Only by acknowledging and grappling with the real and potential dangers of religion, he argues, will we be able to thrive and develop as a species.

Very good

Very good, I really like it, as English my second language, I found the book very understanding and really interesting, making a lot of sense on a lot of things that I was struggling on my recent convertion

On Par with Dawkins

A must read for all Atheists, Agnostics, or anyone one the fence about religion!
BRAVO

loved it

it's plainly the voiced (or written) opinion of a man, but quite relatable, to many others who have a similar disposition about religion.

Exceptionally well written and narrated.

A pleasure to listen to, thought provoking, building yet higher on the shoulders of giants!

Free thinking

I have been reading many books lately on the subjects of atheism, free thinking, agnosticism etc. Mr. Kelly's book has been one of the best in providing me with responses to the unending ridicule I receive when I 'come out of the closet' about my non-belief in a deity or deities.
