New Book: Bible Shockers!
I am hoping that this book will be interesting to the people on this forum. I was an enthusiastic Christian until I finally understood the Bible, and found it untenable. Book Description Bible Shockers! is a collection of disturbing observations of and about the Bible. The book shows that unlike modern day Christianity, the Bible portrays the God of the Jews as essentially a human-like king who lives in the sky. Jesus, it turns out, was a sinner who was promoted to serve at God's right hand. The worshipped Jesus, it turns out, is identified in several places as the antichrist. And the whole notion of "spirit" is a corruption of the Biblical concept of intelligent breath. The doctrines of divine ommiscience, omnipresence, Jesus paying for the sins of the world, the hope of going to heaven, the threat of everlasting torment, Ex Nihilo creation and many more fundamentals of the Christian faith are revealed to be unbiblical and the primitive, unscientific nature of the uninspired text are all laid bare. The observations are well supported with sample citations, inspiring the realization that these are things that have been well hidden in plain sight. Brace yourself for these and more Bible Shockers!

It looks pretty interesting. I might buy it eventually after I finish reading Ehrman's "Lost Christianities", and Robert book "Jesus Is Dead".

No disrespect, this looks like a scam, to extract cash from those only too ready to dis the Bible.
That's before noticing that most mortifying of publishing errors, a spelling mistake on the front cover. |

As a former fundy who has read the bible more times through than any other book, the stuff this piece of shit book calls non biblical is most assuredly biblical. It might be messed up nonsense, but it is biblical.
This book is guaranteed to be utter crap. BTW, to the OP: In the future if you wish to spam a board with your <edit> product, make a few posts before posting your spam. That this is your first post makes it pretty obvious you have a financial interest in your <edit> book selling. |

Since the book can be read for free, it doesn't look like a financial proposition.
People who work their way out of a cult or a delusion feel the need to explain themselves. I have not read this beyond the first few paragraphs, and have no opinion on the quality, but I think a little more charity may be called for. |
