being ideologically consumed and denying reality likely will result in harm than good. this book is a very good lesson on why the previous statement has relevance to Western leaders.

I love this book.
It fuels my atheism. I understand Christianity to be:
the truth has one face, a lie has one hundred thousand

This book is very similar to "Your Deceptive Mind". The narrators even sound similar, the course structure is similar and examples and explanations are quite similar.

largely fallacious, but works to a good end

Revisado: 03-11-19

I dropped my skepticism and biases to listen to this book and saw the old text in a new light. The scholarly review applied by Dennis to each verse (and at times a scholarly review down to a single word) provided commentary that was able to answer deep, troubling philosophical questions left unanswered by parents and pastors. Had I known about this book just 8 years prior, I might've been "saved".

Anyway, the main idea is that if God exists and the Bible (and therefore the book of Exodus) is literally true (I think this detail is actually irrelevant) Dennis through the narrator will try his very best to convince you that God is fair and just.

However, another less-than-convinced person might say: "The Rational Bible"is an ill-suited title to what is actually going on here, the title ought to be "Rationalizing the Bible". There is some truth to this viewpoint, but whether you are more like the former or latter is dependent on whether or not you have faith that if such a god exists, then that god also wants what is good for humanity, or at least his followers.

Against Irrationality:

Revisado: 03-11-19

This book is helpful to me.
I agree with some things and not others, but the general principle that using reason and skepticism to address all claims and beliefs is one I find agreeable. The alternative to reason-based ethics : biased, sexist, racist, subjective and arbitrarily self-determined empathy is evil disguised in a candy-coated shell.

If you want to understand the dissenting opinion regarding empathy, give this book a chance with an open mind. It presents sound arguments and truths that are not to our liking, due to our biases. Save all judgments until you've finished listening to the whole book.
