review 1: An interesting discussion on the holes in Atheist beliefs. Written in a way that kind of mimics C.S. Lewis' 'Screwtape Letters', though doesn't nearly pull it off that well (though how can you compete with Lewis?). I haven't particularly about some of these, so it was interesting to see some of what works against Atheism. I also appreciated the kind comments about my own religion. The first seven letters were the best, the last three (i.e. the personal conversion story) were just a little lame and kind of pushing it.
review 2: Inspired by "The Screwtape Letters", "The Loser Letters" is a series of letters from a young atheist to seasoned atheists, giving them advice on how to win over more people to atheism. The letters are brilliant and witty, like those in "... moreThe Screwtape Letters". The ending is wonderful and intriguing; I've been reading it again and again trying to figure out where A.F. Christian has been all along -- was the "rehab center" some sort of purgatorial realm? Or was it a real rehab center where she not dead yet but given a chance to make things right, and then she only died when the Director (who turned out to be God) talked to her in the end? In any case, I love the ending. less
