Interesting read... shows how the bible has been used to justify nearly every position imaginable on many subjects.

very poor in the fact that all is done is copy and paste from atheist websites. usually don't give poor reviews, but this was a waste of a read.

Interesting. This little book provides an entertaining insight regarding how the Bible can arouse some rather contradictory conclusions, depending on what point of veiw it is quoted from. It touches on quite a number of subjects, from 'defining the poor', to defining marriage; from justifying slavery to supporting civil rights. There seems that there is a Biblical quote for every purpose out there - good or bad.
