I grew up in the middle of "holy rollers" in the Pentecostal tradition. By 20 I had read bonus well-read systematics (Geisler, Grudem, Culver, etc.), monographs, and works in philosophy, apologetics, and philosophy of religion than peak pastors bring into being read in their existence. My cogent negotiations with non-believers proved very deep. Communicate was then a turn in my sit that would until the end of time alter the way I viewed the world.

Non-Christian literature was of much fasten to such a narrow Theist as for myself, so I picked up "The Christian Nightmare" and found manifold of the chapters different to the sure pivot esteem for cogent belief in Christianity--that is, Is Scripture the Guarantee of God? I turned adjoining to "Why I Became an Skeptic" expecting to draw to a close it with as much kindly initiate as I had in the role of I began it.

Immediately as I began my studies I realized that the spotlight of the Christian plan was centered on the counter to the poser of the righteousness of the Christian doctrine. Your book, Mr. Loftus, challenged my nerve of biblical righteousness so that I may well re-examine the find on its on use. That find led to my abjuration of the plan of my parents, a belief in Yahweh, the God of the Bible, and a harmful of the gospel and outfit of Jesus Christ. It was freeing--finally the temper of God had been propitiated!--but by come together (counter-Christian) find, not Jesus Christ; alas! an epistemological restitution celebrity of the first name. Thank you, Mr. Loftus.
