NOTABLE REVIEWS
“Jason
Long has written perhaps the best analysis and refutation of evangelical
Christianity for laymen that is available today. As a
former Christian myself, I find that Long understands precisely how Christians
think and how they argue. He knows this because he was one himself. For this
reason, I think Long's book is more effective than some of
the ‘new atheist’ authors (i.e., Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, etc.). Since the ‘new atheists’ are
writing as outsiders to the faith, they don't have the
same insights into Christianity that a former devout believer such as Long. I
highly recommend this book to believers and non-believers alike. For believers,
it will help them understand how they came to believe what they do and why it
is so difficult to honestly question those beliefs. For non-believers, it will
give insight into how conservative Christians think and the best ways to argue
against their beliefs.”

“I
really liked this book and I highly recommend it. It is unusual to other
comparable works because it seeks to articulate the real reasons why people
believe and reveals the mental gymnastic contortions needed to defend ignorant
and comfortable beliefs. This type of book just may go a long way to help
Christians be honest about their delusional beliefs. In some ways Jason Long
has done for the average person what I have done in my book for the college
student, and for that I can only congratulate him.”
