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.

I too was brought up and also belonged to a Christian fundamentalist church, until my late thirties. So I certainly recognise what Seph is talking about. It was wonderful to be able to laugh about it, and there is I belive a certain amount of healing in laughter. Thank you Seth.

So funny. But so accurate

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 one of the best voices in audio books. I will rate this 5 stars for content and narration. Highly recommended.

Fantastic book!

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
