Kurzbeschreibung
I do not believe in any Gods, religion, or the devil. I have been this way all my life, although I was raised in a religious environment. I was taught about God, the Bible, and I was taught to believe. I was never taught notto believe by anyonethat was my decision. I made that decision based on what I could and could not accept. I never could accept, or believe, that God exists, even when I knew all my friends did.I could not, mainly because I had never seen him and didn't know anyone who had. I always thought anyone as big and powerful as God should be seen by everyone. When I was about eighteen, I brought that thought up to some of my friends; we got into a big disagreement because they said it wasn't about seeing, but believing. Since I was outnumbered about ten to one, I shut my mouth. When I was around them again, and they talked about God, I wouldn't say anything, or I would go along with what was said as if I believed, but I didn't. Later that same year, I came to terms with myself. I realized that I had to be who I am, and accept only what I can accept. If that meant being the only one among my friends, or the only one in the world, who didn't believe in God, then I would stand by what I could accept, and be honest with my friends by telling them. Most important, I realized that I must be honest with myself. I have had long and short-term friendships, which ended when it was found out that I didn't believe in God. I have been called many namesstupid, not normal, the devil, a lost soul, a hypocrite, crazy, and the list goes on. I am none of these things. I am human. One of my friends called me an atheist when I said that I don't believe in God. The tone and manner in which he said it made the word atheist seem like a low and dirty person. Then he added, 'You must believe in the devil.' After I told him that I was not an atheist or agnostic, I asked him why he thought I believed in the devil. His answer was, 'If you don't believe in God, then you must believe

Good gift for a teenager
23. Juni 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
I enyoyed this book and the basic logic behind it. It is writen in a very simple way and even a 12 year old as the author says should be able to understand it. But even adults specially christian religious ones should read it. Speacially those looking for some basic answers on why many of us non-believers think the way we do without having to read a voluminous philosophical book. Then it would be up to them to seek a more comprehensive book

One mans outlook on the world today.

Format:Taschenbuch
I Believe that this is a matter of opinion book. Because when my father wrote this book he knew that some people would be open minded and listen to what the book had to say. And others that would see the title and think my father was a bad man. Me personally I look at with an open mind, not exactly being all for it, but at the same time not being aginst it. To top it off all I can say is that this is a book like no other, so if you are not open minded this may not be the book for you.
I'm proud of you dad.
