Product Description

Product Description

"Not only do I believe that it is possible to maintain moral standards without the crutch of religion but I would argue that it is the only way to achieve true goodness." Disproving Christianity and Other Secular Writings compiles popular and lesser-known arguments against the principles established by the Christian canon. Using a phenomenological approach to build his case based on in-depth study at the University of California, Santa Barbara McAfee analyzes the Hebrew Scriptures and New Testament doctrine to build a logical and reasonable case against their validity. From contradictions between lived and portrayed religions to factual errors within the texts themselves, no stone is left unturned in this fully updated and expanded refutation of Christianity.

Format:Paperback
In his book `Disproving Christianity', David McAfee systematically dismantles some of the basic tenets of the world's most popular brand of religion. In particular, he dissects various aspects affecting the very basis of Christianity directly from God's own book - the `holy' Bible. McAfee shows time and again, inconsistencies and discrepancies as well as many contradictions that are attributed to the Christian God; a character who is supposedly all knowing and essentially perfect - and infallible. The resulting conclusion that one is obliged to reach at the end of a journey through this succinct look at the many problems, is that either the Christian God is a complete liar at worst, entirely contradictory at best, or most likely that He is not actually real at all. The reader is really not left with any alternative conclusion - unless `faith' in the idea that God can somehow still recover from the onslaught renders the reader incapable of common sense and reason - attributes that would serve much better than faith when considering the numerous problems McAfee considers and exposes. Whilst the seasoned scholar may require more than is on offer, this book will more than suit most readers who are looking for a rounded and rational `easy to understand and appreciate' analysis of the reality behind Christianity.

Jim Whitefield, author of `The Mormon Delusion' series.

A little book that packs a mighty punch! 28 Dec 2011
By Guy P. Harrison - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
This accessible and fascinating book manages to pack an abundance of key information into less than 200 pages. It's an invaluable resource for those who are unafraid to think for themselves and ask the hard questions.

David G. McAfee's "Disproving Christianity and other Secular Writings" is a welcome and important addition to the body of literature that dares to stand up for humankind and oppose those who claim that religion, magic and mysticism are required for one to lead a happy, purposeful and good life.

Christians who rely on the Bible to defend their positions will find plenty to think about here as McAfee turns their own book against them. By pointing out numerous contradictions, errors and just plain outrageous passages, McAfee shows that the Bible falls far short of perfection and fails as a foundation for basing morality upon. Unlike some books critical of the Bible, this one never bogs down in mind-numbing detail or becomes too complex for laypersons. It's the perfect book to hand a friend or family member who needs a nudge toward reason and reality.

"Disproving Christianity and other Secular Writings" is great stuff, a must-read for skeptics and believers alike!

Easy, easy read! 18 April 2012
By A. Domina - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
If you're non-theistic and have theists badgering you about your lack of beliefs, get this book for them. It's incredibly easy to read because the ideas are drafted very carefully and displayed in a manner that makes the information easy to understand and easy to follow. Sure, it may still ruffle some theistic feathers but, that certainly wouldn't be because of belittling remarks in the book itself. The points that are given are hard to dispute!

If you happen to be a theist, please don't be turned away. You need to read this book more than any of us do. The fact of the matter is that most Christians have no idea what's REALLY in the Bible that they cling to so tightly. This needs to change and "Disproving Christianity" will offer some places to start when it comes to really investigating the Bible itself.

Knowledge is power my friends. This book is a quick read with plenty of info packed in its pages. :)

Great Read! 7 May 2012
By J. Sciple - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
David G. McAfee has put together a great, concise, easy to read book for disproving one of the world's largest religions. I like that the author tackles a single task. Rather than a book on disproving all religions or promoting atheism in general, McAfee aims his attention towards Christianity to highlight some logical flaws within the doctrines. This logical, non-emotional approach used in the book makes for an enlightening read.

And it repented the LORD that he had made man on earth, and it grieved him at his heart, implying that God regretted creating man after original sin, which he had to have known would happen; not only does it not make sense for a perfect, omnipotent being to feel disappointment, but this verse implies actual regret as well. &quote;

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.15 &quote;
