Synopsis

Facts. Truth. Logic. Science. These are the basics of the world in which we live day-to-day in society, government, medicine, agriculture, and manufacturing. But while we have 21st-century technology, we have 1st-century superstitions, basically those superstitions found in religion. With a particular focus on Christianity and its predecessor Judaism, Pfeiffer reflects on the facts of the Bible and Christian religions and his own thinking over a lifetime, from a Baptist upbringing through reading on both sides of the fence, to debating and discussing religious subjects with everyone who is interested. Reviewing various aspects of prayer, faith, miracles, morality, heaven and hell, he pokes fun at the contradictions and contrivances found in “the Book” and the rituals solemnly repeated long after they’ve lost any meaning. Biblical immoralities, prophecy, and blind faith come in for a sharp skewering as he roasts them in the hot gaze of reality.

About this title

About the Author

C. Boyd Pfeiffer is an internationally-known award-winning journalist writing for the Baltimore Sun, Washington Post, Washington Times and Baltimore Examiner and several magazines; he has authored more than 25 books. He writes a regular column on the Internet entitled "Religious Skepticism Examiner." Boyd has received dozens of awards for his writing. His interest in religion stems from his childhood background in a Protestant faith and continued as skepticism when he reached his teens. At Gettysburg College he was taught the "official" history of the bible; he has been self-educating ever since, reading extensively on religion, atheism, philosophy and history, and taking every opportunity to discuss, debate and argue religion of all types and flavors with anyone at all – from those of minimal faith to Bible students, Seminary students, ministers, rabbis, imams, church deacons and elders and the like. For the most part, he found that such discussions got nowhere, as most of his interlocutors could provide no answers (or at best highly questionable information) to his question and the concerns at hand
