A few weeks ago, I sent copies of my books to a handful of bloggers and one YouTuber, Jaclyn Glenn – the latter because I found out that Jaclyn sometimes does videos where she opens her mail. (For those who don't know, Jaclyn is one of the most popular atheist YouTubers, with close to half a million subscribers.) So imagine my surprise today when I learned that she not only featured the books in a recent video, she also dismissed them as religious trash!
I guess on the theory that there's no such thing as bad publicity I should be pleased. But still, I wish she had actually bothered to look a bit closer at the damn books. After all, the blurb on the back of
The Truth about God is by the well-known atheist John Loftus.
Instead, Jaclyn literally judged that book by its cover. I must admit it does look religious (which was intentional, so as to capture the attention of believers). Thus, I can understand her mistake, up to a point. Nevertheless, I hope she corrects the mistake. If she were to do so, it would mean even better publicity for the books than I had originally hoped for.
So how about it, Jaclyn?
