If you are an atheist or an agnostic, you will understand this book. If you aren't, you'll hate it but you will still have a hard time denying what it says. Granted, this is one man's idea of religion but when he said check out what comes after the first ten commandments and I did, I couldn't deny that what he was saying made sense to me.I thought this book would be a relatively quick read but I was wrong. Mr. Mallard puts a whole ton of words into these ideas and backs it up with quotes from the bible, quran, etc. It got to the point where I understood the concept and moved on but if I'm ever interested in proving a point to someone about religion, I will probably keep this book handy as a reference.He gets a little heavy handed sometimes but I have no quibble with the overall thoughts that he puts out there. He breaks religion down into 20 different sections and explains each one in detail. I was fascinated by what he says and all of it is right out there in the real world for studying. Go ahead. Google Exodus 20 and read through some of the rules that come after the ten commandments and tell me they make sense. Beating a slave to death is bad but beating him just enough that he can walk the next day is OK? Who made that up?
