review 1: one star. a very offensive book with dangerous ideas.author seems to condone violence, slavery, rape and racism?? also lots of inconsistencies and holes in plotline, even in the very first chapter - for example, "gen 1:3-5 On the first day, God created light, then separated light and darkness." "gen 1:14-19 The sun (which separates night and day) wasn't created until the fourth day."book has been listed wrong - should be in fiction category, perhaps sci-fi or fantasy. however, the style in which the book was written was very dull, so along with the bad/offensive plot, i definitely would not reccommend it.overall, book was written by a misogynist, selfish bigot - not 'loving god'. extremely violent and disturbing, unsuitable for children.
review 2: First things ... morefirst. The stories in the Bible have been dictated by peasants and shepherds who lived in very backward areas of the Middle East. At this stage in world history, there were many civilizations who were centuries ahead of these nomads. However, the illiterate populace of the Middle East were drawn toward this cult of fear,ignorance and blind faith. Christianity soon became a very popular religion although Christians were ruthlessly persecuted by the Roman Empire. This changed when Constantine became the Roman Emperor. He converted to Christianity and the rest, they say, is history. Well, that's a short paragraph on how Christianity became so popular. Now coming to the Bible itself. The god of the Bible is egomaniacal,irrational,homicidal,genocidal,homophobic,sexist,racist,jealous and arrogant.Remember, this is the same all-loving,all powerful god of the Christians. Some of the stories in the Bible are so ridiculous (Noah's Ark) and some are just unreadable (Job).The Bible is full of contradictions everywhere. This book has dominated the western world for so long and it's message has caused the deaths of millions of innocent lives in almost all parts of the world. Indeed, the book is so bad that it is said to be the number one 'source' of Atheism.Read this book to see how ridiculously ignorant and foolish humans can be. less
