HolyShit Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Can anyone please recommend their favorite books on atheism? I've read The God Delusion, and Atheist Universe. Both were very good but i'm looking for what others think are the best. Also, any books that are helpful in debunking Christianity are welcome as well. Thanks!

Kaiser01 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 This is a good one... Honestly i really haven't read that many books on atheism, i get most my material from the internet and books having nothing t odo with religion at all, they just hold information to be applied.

Kaiser01 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Also welcome to the forums, i hope you stick around and i assure you, you will find just as many arguments against God and Christianity on this site, as you will in any book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Valk0010 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I have a growing appreciation for anything by Robert Green Ingersoll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelHappy Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I have a growing appreciation for anything by Robert Green Ingersoll. Which one do you recommend, I read his short About the Holy Bible and was mostly disappointed, He did make a good point about if Jesus was god incarnate he would know the future and if so why didn't he take more care to explain his words and help prevent all of the battles we've had over doctrine (such as actually explaining the trinity himself or clarifying his position on earth).

HolyShit Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Wow, The Age of Reason was very good. Thomas Paine completely destroyed the Bible. I'm amazed this was actually written and published over 200 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akheia Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Loftus' book absolutely eviscerates every claim Christianity makes. If I were going to be condemned to a desert island and could take only one book on the subject of atheism, that'd be the one I'd take. I re-read it from time to time just to brush up, and every time I see something new that I hadn't noticed before (sort of like watching Idiocracy, in a way).

HolyShit Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 I just bought that one and Godless by Dan Barker. Can't wait to read them both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
