Introduction
Tom Stiller has won great attention by spending $20 million to promote Donald Trump's impeachment. It is not uncommon for a 100% class to spend a lot of money on the passion they embrace. In 2016, the top 50 richest Americans made a total donation of $50.7 billion. Oh, I have almost no ability to fund any type of activity, but if the results of this book's review are epic surprises, I will invest a large part of my good income sponsorship to distribute to national fundamentalist Christians." Deterministic illusion." It will create a beautiful world for the United States, and let them save these other decent people from these grotesque superstitions, frankly, the madness of religious style.
One critic called "Certesty's Illusion" [hereafter called "illusion"] is an "evil book", albeit "very persuasive." I disagree with the evil part. So many impossible things [for example, a young earth, a literal sacred story, creationism and all kinds of incredible absurdity, such as miracles, original sin, eternal torture, deformation, saints, angels, The devil, etc.] may have a second thought about their beliefs, if a way can be found to get the "illusion" on the reading list.
Shadow of the Wizard of Oz
In Frank Baum's classic story, Dorothy used this sentence to smash the Wizard of Oz: "You are a very, very bad person." When I met the "illusion" mentioned by the critics as an evil book I remembered these words. If the wizard read the book and made such a comment, I think he would defend it like this: "No, dear.
Structure
The "illusion" consists of five parts, which are divided into 40 short chapters in the process of page 381. This allows readers to make rapid progress, surprise and surprise at the credulity of most of our gays and lesbians, and is believed by religion. The prominent chapters deal with the origins of general religion, especially the fundamentalist Christianity, the delusion of creationism, how the script is ordinary, flawed and unreliable, and the argument against God, even on the bright side of the prophecy - "This illusion does not The future." Just as I want to believe it, this is the only part of the book that I found unconvincing. However, James Howe will not be the first Christian expert to be optimistic about his doom. Even Robert Green Ingersoll is wrong.
Faith is the core and soul of all religions. It is based on hope - it requires and does not require any evidence, no evidence, no data, logic or reason. It is not affected by common sense objections. According to the author, "in the absence of evidence, faith is basically undisguised optimism."
a little opinion
There are more than 10,500 religions in the world today; there may be the same number of religions that have occurred in modern humans for 200,000 years on Earth. No one knows how many religions may exist in the six million years that our non-modern ancestors moved through the woods and roamed the plains. If more ancient religions are more meaningful than contemporary Christianity, as the Fund explains, I would not be surprised at all.
With so many choices, why do you think Americans are overwhelming [80%] Christians? For the same reason, they are very Christians, 99% of those born in Turkey are Muslims, and 81% of those born in Thailand are Buddhists - this is what Houk calls "geographical rules." No one should be surprised. Religion is an educational, cultural virus that spreads for nearly two decades every day. This is a miracle that anyone can freely enjoy. What is even more surprising is that at least 25% of adults claim to have no religious beliefs or "non-criminals".
Summary
Faith is a spiritual toxin that weakens logic, reason, science, data and common sense. And, it is the mind and the "soul" [whatever it is], the foundation and the Bastille, making religion.
If you plan to reincarnate yourself, it will appear in Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, France, Australia or Iceland - one of the least religious countries in the world, performing relatively well in democratic government and high quality countries. it is good. life. Or, stay in the US if that's what you want to repeat. Choose wisely - find parents to support rationality, science, evidence, free thinking, and for additional protection, become a member of the Freedom Religious Foundation, American Union Separation Church and State, and/or American Association of Americans. If you do this, then you are almost zero indoctrinated by Christians or other forms of religious fundamentalists.
Frank Houk's "The Illusion of Certyty" is five stars.
