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.

A no-nonsense logical analysis of Christian claims.,
This review is from: Disproving Christianity and Other Secular Writings (2nd edition, revised) (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 terrific starting point!,
By Nickolas A. Johnson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Disproving Christianity and Other Secular Writings (2nd edition, revised) (Paperback)
I would say that this book is probably a great starting point for anyone that has even the slightest doubt about Christianity. He represents some popular biblical inaccuracies along with a few other not so popular. In the second edition he also includes a few other arguments against faith from a secular prospective that serve to blossom the seed of doubt any uncertain believer may feel.

Excellent read from cover to cover,
By Scott - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Disproving Christianity and Other Secular Writings (2nd edition, revised) (Paperback)
This is one of the best books I have ever read. The Author explains how the Christian religion has maintained it's grip on America, yet it's not practiced as much as it is inherited from generation to generation. What effect did Christianity have on slavery, native Americans, wars and the laws of America? Read this book and you will understand the grip Christianity has on the past and present in America. The first book by a young author who has a great writing style that is easy to follow. *****
