About this listen

Seth Andrews wasn't an idiot during his 30 years as an evangelical Christian. He wasn't unintelligent, nor did his IQ shift when he ultimately left religion entirely. He considered himself thoughtful, moral, reasonable, and at least as smart as the average person. In other words, he wasn't an idiot. Yet strangely, he often sounded like one.

In any other context, Christians would likely smirk, scoff, or recoil at many of their "normal" beliefs and practices, reenacted Easter crucifixions, eating monthly communion "flesh", singing hymns about being washed in blood, and the embrace of a Bible containing scripture verses about golden hemorrhoids, apocalypse dragons, and human sacrifice, So what gives?

Are these notions embraced only because they're familiar? Do they make any sense? And, do they cause otherwise reasonable people to sound like idiots?

Seth Andrews admits that, for himself, the answer was a definite "yes". For everyone else? Listen to the audiobook and decide.

Mr Andrew's style of speech keeps this moving on at a satisfying speed. Packed with humour I found myself "nodding" at so many points along the way.

Very refreshing

Seth has a true grasp on the subject and understands the troubling account of the Christian doctrine that causes so much mental anguish driven by fear. Seth draws on his own experience and sharp insight to provide solid reasoning and more than a little wry humour to bring a clear focus as to why Christianity is so flawed and promotes so much hysteria. Great work Seth keep them coming

An excellent account

Seth Andrews' “Christianity Made Me Talk Like an Idiot” is a brilliant blend of humor, intelligence, and nostalgia. As someone who spent years in the Christian faith, I found myself chuckling and nodding in agreement throughout the entire book. Andrews masterfully captures the essence of the often absurd things said and believed in Christianity with a perfect balance of wit and wisdom.

His storytelling is both engaging and relatable. Andrews' ability to dissect his past beliefs without bitterness is refreshing and adds a layer of depth to the narrative.

Andrews' narration is spot on, bringing his stories to life in a way that is both entertaining and heartfelt. If you're looking for a book that will make you laugh, think, and reminisce about your days as a believer, this is it. Highly recommended for anyone who has ever questioned their faith or simply enjoys a good, honest look at the quirks of religion.

Hilariously insightful and nostalgically reflective
