This book is a mindfuck and a half.
Having gotten that out of the way, let me explain why. You know how LEGO toys have these convenient age ranges/suggestions on their boxes? This book should most definitely have an IQ sticker on it saying "120 or above". You see, I used to consider myself a bright guy. I did. Not an intellectual by any stretch of the imagination, but, let's say, nine times out of ten I could tell clay and toffee apart. But this book was meant for a far more educated or, to put it in simple terms, SMARTER reader than me. When I picked it up, I was under the wrong impression that this will be something like the Zeitgeist movie (only without the bullshit). I though it would be this entertaining little book debunking the Bible and Christianity, concentrating on the flawed facts or lack thereof in "The Book". You know, the fun stuff, like a 600 year old man building an ark, a talking serpent, the immaculate conception and so on. The hits, so to speak. Nope. The literal content of the Bible was hardly even touched on in this book - instead, it dug into the roots of Christianity. A very philosophical book that I was completely unprepared for - I never even read a "Philosophy for Dummies" for starters, not to mention a real philosophical book, up to this point in my life. The arguments presented in this book were so well crafted and perfectly worded, that I had to hold this book in one hand and a dictionary in the other. Moreover, I caught myself re-reading many paragraphs and passages over and over again to understand at least the gist of it. On several occasions, I had to stop reading altogether for a minute or two, to give my Pentium III of a head time to process the information I was ambushed with.
Several years down the road, when I am no longer a manchild, I will be sure to take another shot a this book, because after reading it this first time I feel like I took away only a fraction of it's content.
First, though, me getz me some BRAINZ:)
