Özet

From the introduction by Dan Barker: Millions of good people live moral, happy, loving, meaningful lives without believing in a god.

Oprah said it was 17 years, but it was actually 19 years between my first sermon at the age of 15 and my last sermon at the age of 34. Part 1 of Godless, "Rejecting God", tells the story of how I moved from devout preacher to atheist and beyond. Part 2, "Why I Am an Atheist", presents my philosophical reasons for unbelief. Part 3, "What's Wrong with Christianity", critiques the bible (its reliability as well as its morality) and the historical evidence for Jesus. Part 4, "Life Is Good!", comes back to my personal story, taking a case to the United States Supreme Court, dealing with personal trauma, and experiencing the excitement of Adventures in Atheism.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"Valuable in the human story are the reflections of intelligent and ethical people who listen to the voice of reason and who allow it to vanquish bigotry and superstition. This book is a classic example." (Christopher Hitchens, author of God is Not Great)
"The most eloquent witness of internal delusion that I know - a triumphantly smiling refugee from the zany, surreal world of American fundamentalist Protestantism - is Dan Barker." (Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion)
" Godless was a revelation to me. I don't think anyone can match the (devastating!) clarity, intensity, and honesty which Dan Barker brings to the journey - faith to reason, childhood to growing up, fantasy to reality, intoxication to sobriety." (Oliver Sacks, author of Musicophilia)

As someone who is a lifelong atheist, 'godless' provides a valuable insight into what goes on in the mind of a evangelical preacher, on his journey out of religion and towards reason.

PS: some of Dan's narration can be a little 'wet' at times, there's some slightly irritating crackling noises that the mic picks up. I think it's always better when a biography is read by the narrator, when possible. So I could overlook the slightly annoying noises. Most people will not care too much about it, but those who're easily irritated by certain sounds might find it hard to listen to.

As a lifelong atheist..

This is a compelling read which combines Dan's autobiography, an account of some of the impressive work of the Freedom from Religion Foundation and his powerful chapter and verse analysis of the shortcomings of Christianity. Included are accounts of former pastors and priests who have rejected faith and become agnostics or atheists. It is well written and easy to follow. He reads it himself clearly. Richard Dawkins' introduction is an added bonus. It is impressive as a text which every Christian should read, if they dare!

a Must read for Christians

The author his his journey through religion, how he became a preacher, developed doubts, and the consequences. Later he discusses various arguments for and against believing in a god, as well as other topics such as morality.

The autobiographical section is an insightful and rare offering from books in this category, and is especially touching read by the author himself. The later arguments are presented with clarity and wit, and the book feels very complete while remaining interesting throughout.

Best in its category

Loved listening to this. I though the narration was a tad slow but moved it to x1.15 and was perfect.

Loved the nod to Genie Scott, I chaperone her last year in Scotland. Great woman!

Great story of a journey towards reason
