Rule #1 of EAC "Do not talk about EAC!"

Rule #2 of EAC "Do not talk about EAC!"

I noticed this guy posted the same review for the NIV Life Application Study Bible. Frankly I think he was too hard on it. I have the NIV LASB and it has provided me and my family with outstanding support for an end table lamp that was a little to short. Sometimes you have to look beyond the obvious. Actually what stunned me about this was that someone we barely know would drop 50+ bucks to give this book to a couple of irredeemable heathens like my wife and I.

Too late. You'll have to form another secret society, now. So tell me what this one was. "EAC"?

I use mine to prop up a bookcase that leans too far back. I tend to drop things like concert tickets and bills on top of said bookcase, and were it not for the Word of Gawd my important documents would creep back and fall between the case and the wall, never to be seen again.
The Good Book when left closed is too thick to level the bookcase effectively, but I found that if I open it to Ezekiel and wedge it in face-down, it does the job admirably. Praise Jeebus!

hhhmmm...why this guy posted SAME reviews for every Bible he read?

Anyway, more reviews from this guv:

Why I Am Not A Christian by Bertrand Russell (Author)

Why I am Not A Christian is not only a critique of superstition and ignorance, it is an outstanding lesson in logic. Unfortunately, this is one thing many christians care little about, all that matters is the security of an illusion, and the promise of ever-lasting life. Russell takes these issues and addresses them, not as an enemy of christianity, but simply as a thinker examining the availible evidence.

His arguments are easy to follow and accessible to any reader, all one has to do is examine the examples used. In his examination of the bible he points out only a few of the many contradictions, fallacies and illogical events portrayed. In so doing he examines such things as the various ontological arguments, the institution of the churh, the character and originality of Christ, and the psychology of belief.

It soon becomes clear that if one uses reason, no other conclussion can be arrived at: belief in christianity is illogical, thoughtless, and merely a rejection of reality. It is Under the pressure of such logic, that people retreat into the ignorance and denial of responsibility that religion provides. As Russell states Christianity is the religion of fear, and fear is one of the most powerful forces in the human mind. Throw in a heaping portion of guilt and you then have the recipe for willing submission.

It is also worth mentioning that Bertrand Russell was persecuted for his beliefs, and even denied a teaching position because of pressure from religious fundamentalists. This more than anything illustrates the tactics of those who are lacking in reason. If one cannot disprove an argument, censorship is the usual method of suppression, and as history shows this is the usual response to critics of religion. Simple logic is the greatest asset to those fighting the forces of ignorance, in this book Bertrand Russell has provided a great example. Without logic and freethought humanity will always be enslaved, this book is for those who have the courage to think for themselves, and then come to their own conclussions.


The Encyclopedia of Biblical Errancy by C. Dennis McKinsey

This book is simply a refutation of the bible as literal fact, and divine inspiration. Mr. Mckinsey, in this work, finds little need to make complex theological arguments, he instead simply uses the bible itself to expose its own falibility. Throughout 25 brief, yet powerful chapters Mckinsey shows us why the "bible is simply the the flawed writings of some very fallible men". Proving in the end that simple logic is the best defense against the raving, illogical arguments so common to the fundamentalist mind. This book is for anyone who wants to examine the bible in a fair and logic way, one no focused on the literary value of the book, but on the destructive nature of its message. Mormonism and Islam are also discussed along with the seemingly countless versions of the old and new testaments. As Mckinsey states, see why in the end, "the bible is its own worst enemy".
