Ratings and reviews

The premise for this book is retarded, there are divine that are not so boorish as the "judgemental parental figure god" that the christians & muslims worship and I guarantee you this book cant prove even that god aint real with tool of logical argument. Clear reasoning is not automatically truth or proof of anything. This is just a dude hating on what he dont believe anymore because he holds the responsible for hurting him

Humans have a need to believe in the supernatural. The infidel atheist doesn't believe in Santa Claus either. No matter. Atheists are easily ignored. The need to believe in the Force is scientific observable universal data about humans. Atheists are just trying to cause trouble, trying to make believers uneasy in their beliefs, and for no good reason. Humans WANT to believe in the supernatural. Leave them be.

He can't prove God doesn't exist. To know God comes through faith, not empirical knowledge. Think of a line drawn on paper. God is in the space above this line (faith) and empirical knowledge is in the space below the line. Knowing can't go above the line, because it is finite. Faith goes from below the line, up through the line and upwards to God. Both God and faith are infinite.
