Finding truth through logical fallacies
20. März 2003
The author is proud of his illiteracy. Really bad grammar, numerous logical fallacies, boring repetitions, no index, no references and plainly wrong facts.
And I say this as a freethinker who agrees with the conclusions of the book. Readers interested in atheism and free thought would be better off reading books by George H Smith, Paul Kurtz, Bertrand Russell, Robert Ingersoll and many others.
"The Cruelest Joke of All" reminded me of Abd Ru Shin, a "visionary" whose rants and condescending tone make the reading of his works almost impossible. Max King is an atheist who prays that "you will see the light of truth". Need I say more ?

A nice try that came up short....
19. August 2003
Mr. King is a true born again atheist. His emotional attempt to spread the word to the "brainwashed" believer is heartwarming and boundless. The intellectual awakening he experienced upon realizing the falsity of the Christian creed seems to have provided the impetus for writing this book.
Mr. King's background is biblical scholarship, and it shows. He does his best to point out the more obvious contradictions in biblical text. But there is nothing really new here, most, if not all, of these "problems" have been well documented by a myriad of authors.
But my impression is that Mr. King's real goal is to just get the theist to "think", so she will see the error of her ways. What is so clear to him will surely become clear to others... if they just think! Of course, that's the problem, isn't it? They don't think. This type of argument never gets anywhere. No one is ever convinced and no minds are ever changed. And, considering the title of this book, one wonders if many Christians will even read his message; for the most part Mr. King will be preaching to the choir.
Hopefully, some day, all religion will need to stand the test of truth or falsity. The supernatural either exists or it doesn't (it doesn't); the bible is either the revealed word of a sky god or it isn't (it isn't). So far Christianity has successfully withstood its failure to back up its most basic tenets, due, no doubt, to the boundless credulity its followers.
Unfortunately, the loose regard Mr. King displays toward the rules of style and usage preclude me from recommending this book ... it's not an enjoyable read.

book falls short, so much better out there...
20. April 2004
Max King's objective is to get people to think critically about Christianity. The book is short and the message consistent through, "Use your head and think!" He asks common sense questions but doesn't provide answers of any depth. The book is empty.
His approach may be effective to some, but will fall short to the majority in search of some truth. Not recommended.
