The Bible Delusion? This book takes each of the 66 Bible texts and examines them carefully as a juror would pore over evidence in a trial. The fiction and mythology these ancient scribes penned form the basis of numerous belief systems. Do they hold up to close scrutiny? For too long, the secrets of the Bible have been mostly inaccessible due to the size of the collection of texts but also because of the tedious writing in so many instances. The Bible was designed to be difficult to read. The holy men in black never wanted it read too carefully. It has much to hide. RAPE - INCEST - TORTURE - DECEPTION - GREED GENOCIDE - BETRAYAL - REVENGE - MURDER ...and that's only for starters Is there a God? Is there an afterlife? The numerous shocks and surprises the author found will challenge what has been taught for many centuries and continues to be preached in churches still. The various belief systems that have their origin in this book will be tested. Maybe you always wanted to read the Bible but could never find the time or the patience? This book can make that task easy. "The truth will set you free." (John 8:32)
