Description:Subtitle: "The unbelievable tale of an extra-dimensional wizard and his exploits with humanity." "If you've ever read the whole Bible, you are well aware of just how big this book is. With an estimated word count of well over 700,000 words, the book is not an undertaking for the casual reader. The book can be a very tedious and boring read. This turns many people off from wanting to commit any time to understanding the foundational doctrine of Christianity. However, as atheists we really need to have at least a basic understanding of the Bible if we are going to make a judgment call about the religion. No matter which sect of Christianity someone subscribes to, the Bible is the foundation of Christian belief. This book is a mere 7,000 words to tell a slimmed down version of the basic story of the Bible. This book focused on the narrative rather than any underlying allegory or metaphor inherent in the narrative. The author attempts to challenge the notion of biblical literalism by showing that the story in its most basic form is simply too fantastic for any rational person to believe."Same as pdf at https://www.libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=79A0611D8A8465841BE2DE10DCD60BB8 but bookmarks fixed and amplified.There are better critiques of the Bible (and e.g. Christianity) than this, both ancient and modern.
