A review by clmassey24
Godless by Dan Barker
4.0
I thoroughly enjoyed Barker's thoroughness in dissecting biblical discrepancies – my own bible is now filled with my markings, highlighting them all – and his biographical account of his apostasy. His knowledge of biblical history, language, and Christianity is immense given his past as a preacher and evangelical missionary, and it's all for the better.
He's an excellent inspiration for freethinking individuals who may be doubting their once-cherished religious beliefs.
The writing style is fine, although his knack for not spelling out numbers drove me mad, the content is what really matters. My favorite quote is this:
Four stars because some points were slightly too repetitive and the writing is simply ordinary non-fiction prose.
Thanks for the inspiration, Dan, to continuously strive toward knowledge and skepticism.

"If we waste any moment of our precious lives on the hope of an afterlife, we rob ourselves of real joy and value in the here and now. Our lives are all we have, and we should enjoy them to the fullest, minute by fragile minute."
