*** REVISED INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH VERSION *** God Hates You, Hate Him Back makes the ultimate case for the claim that the God of the Bible is the most wicked character in the pages of history. With a wit as dry as a martini, and the cross examination techniques of a seasoned lawyer, CJ Werleman lays out all sixty-six chapters of the Bible to present an irrefutable argument that indeed God hates us all. If you have never read or never fully understood The Bible then you will do no better than this unique, comedic, 21st century summary of the greatest story ever sold, or in Werleman’s own words ‘never read’. God Hates You, Hate Him Back provides you with an arsenal of Biblical facts, stories, mythology and assertions to ensure you victory in your next religious debate. “This book absolutely crucifies the argument for a benevolent creator. What’s more, it uses the creationist’s most-cited source to do it.” - dailyatheist.net

Review
"His acid wit and delightfully humorous analysis of Biblical testament will have your neck cramping from continuously nodding in agreement. He meticulously scrutinises the Bible, chapter by thrilling chapter, articulating the many contradictions and indeed misconceptions that the religious conveniently overlook." -- Rusty Lime, November 16, 2009

I didn't know what to make of this book at first, but then I realised what I had in my hand was a powerful, emotive and explosive book written by a man who is clearly passionate about his subject, but more then that - the book was hilarious!! I would simply love to have someone like Billy Connolly read this book out loud and I'm sure it would bring the house down. Reading through the book I admit I actually did have a few LOL moments.
That being said, the book does have an undertone of all seriousness. Sure we can laugh at the faithful and their backward belief system, but as CJ points out there are plenty of people who revere this pith as the absolute truth! CJs no holds bar attack on this cult is justified and venerable.
So I can recommend this book to anyone who wants to equip themselves with some prime-time,anti-religious quotations. You are guaranteed to find something great inside this little gem.

As a combination of wit, facts and careful biblical research this book is exceptional. Even the Introduction is screamingly funny merely by stating facts garnered from reputable sources. If these, from the Introduction, do not make you laugh you either have no sense of humour or you are a USA bible belt christian:
93% of American households own at least one copy of the bible known, despite its sadism, grotesque sex and a god with an insatiable appetite for flattery, as "The Good Book."
More than 50% of High School seniors think Sodom and Gomorrah are a married couple.
The same percentage of Americans don't know Genesis is the first book of the Bible.
More than 20% think Moses was one of Jesus' disciples.
And yet a recent Rasmussen poll found 44% of Americans believe in the literal truth of the bible. This means they believe a talking snake encouraged a woman to eat an apple; a 900 year old man built an Arc to replenish humanity. And that is only from the Introduction. The only caution I offer is that when you read the book you could do yourself an injury laughing. But you will learn more about the bible, more entertainingly and based on serious research than you could imagine. I loved it.

C.J. Werleman lived in Indonesia for almost ten years. He witnessed the suicide bombing in Bali, so is only too aware of the dangers of fundamental religion. He has studied the sixty-six books of the bible and exposes its wickedness. The bible is perceived by Christians to be the inspired word of the 'one and only true god'. Werleman pays particular emphasis to God's killings in the bible. Yes that's right God's killings in the bible all 31,749,592 of them. It's a cert that not too many people will believe that but it's right according to whether one believes the bible or not. The author has given an indepth insight into the actions of the god of the bible and it most certainly does not fit with the image of a loving and forgiving god as depicted by Christians. In fact the biblical god demands absolute obedience and adoration If he doesn't receive it, then the result will be mass killings. Werleman illustrates how indiscriminate god is when it comes to killing women and innocent children is immaterial to the biblical god. He is totally bereft of morality and justice. Werleman does not use outside influences or academics to prove god's character the evidence is provided in the bible itself. This book needs to be read by young people before older generations brainwash them into believing the bible to be 'the book' to base one's morality. For example, Sunday school teachers or ministers will never teach the bible in its entirety to young impressionable minds. It is a book which shows how the biblical god is jealous and will advocate suffering and murder for his own advantage. Is it not strange that many Christians will have no problem with their God and his killings, yet they abhore the killings committed by human beings? This appears selective and hypocritical to me? However what would I know?
In writing this book Werleman is keen to emphasise that he is not trying to disprove the existence of god. However, it should motivate one to think if he does exist what type of horrible being is he? Well done C.J. Werleman!!
