Jonathan Sharpe

Although this book is very well written (C. H. was a very capable writer, the book not unenjoyable to read in that sense), his analysis of the chosen subject matter should be what is most important here. But alas, what is so eloquently presented to the reader for consideration is, ironically, shockingly immature. Most high school students may reach the same level of rational thinking and present the same reasonable conclusions if motivated and genuinely interested. What shocked me most was that the author was a prominent middle-aged journalist who was regarded particularly highly for his erudition and intellectualism, and, purportedly, had spent a good long many years thinking on the issues of God and Religion and this was his serious attempt at a contribution. I recall my sincerest impression being that this book was one of the most childish and stupid pieces of great writing I have ever read. When a man's arrogance IS his ignorance he oftentimes takes leave of actually continuing to "think about the thing" and earnestly begins instead to "think a thing" indefinitely. The "thoughts" in quotation are my own because I haven't gotten the literary means to forcibly, or fancifully, explain them. So Reader beware........... unless this is literally the first publication you ever choose to read on the subject, this book is not worth the time.

If you read this story and don't like it, you can look in the mirror.
