Summary

Dr. Richard Carrier, world-renowned philosopher and historian, explains the four reasons he does not accept the Christian religion, describing four facts of the world that, had they been different, he would believe. Those four reasons are God's silence, God's inaction, the lack of evidence, and the way the universe looks exactly like a godless universe would, and not at all like a Christian universe would, even down to its very structure. Dr. Carrier addresses all the usual replies to these claims, in ways you might not have heard before, relying on his wide experience in debating and studying these issues all over the world for more than 15 years.

A perfect book to introduce yourself, or your friends, to why fewer educated people are embracing Christianity than ever before.

Reality

A very factual book that is balanced and debunks the “myth” of Christianity. A good listen

A valid point of view.

Sit back, pour yourself a scotch, and listen to Richard Carrier. He has a valid point of view. He has a knack of making everything sound so obvious. Of course, I hear you say. Why didn’t I think of that before. It was so obvious.

Inconclusive

To sum this book up: God does not meet Carrier's expectations, therefore he does not exist. I didn’t particularly like the way he reads it either. Atheists will think this book reinforces their non-belief. Good for Christians to know that this is the best an atheist philosopher can do. I would be interested to read his other stuff if I didn't have to pay for it.
