    A Cogent Defense of Atheism and Critique of Theismby random_skeptic

    October 10, 2009: This book is one of the finest defenses of Atheism and crtiques of theism I have ever read. Mr. Smith covers territory ranging from the problems of defintions in relation to the concept of God to the realm of Meta Ethics. He truly demonstrates, with logic and evidence, the irrationality of believing in God and/or the supernatural. He examines many of the arguments Theists and Theologians make in defense of God and deconstructs them masterfully. He also makes the case for a happy and fulfilling life without recourse to the supernatural.

    I Also Recommend: Atheist Universe, Why I Became an Atheist.

    A Very Important Book in it's Field.by Amovitas

    September 28, 2009: On a plane flight back from out west, the gentleman next to me revealed that he was a Professor at the Harvard School of Divinity, after having seen the above book on my lap. He remarked that he was well aware of the book and had reccomended it to many of his colleagues. He said, Smith offers one of the fairest analysis of the theist position that he has ever read. He noted that Smith points out current major problems with defining god as an issue of delimiting their god--boundaries theism is not willing to impose. If a professor of Theism has nothing but good things to say about the book--it is definitely a must read.

    I think Smith's Book is one of the best epistemological and logical dissections of theism that has ever been written.
