Book Two: Questions and Contradictions
1 No religion is perfect, they are riddled with odd concepts, inconsistencies and confusion. 2In Book Two, we examine some of these discrepancies and subject religious beliefs to rational examination.
3As Christianity and Islam are the largest of the mainstream faiths, they are the central focus of this section of the book, but others among the major religions will also be covered, as well as some of the ancient religions and faiths.
4This section concludes with a chapter on the darker side of Christianity, an area which is generally not discussed because it doesn t fit the narrative of the faith. SIt also raises a lot of issues that many people in the know aren t allowed to talk about, nor are willing to.
6A few notes to bear in mind when reading through this chapter:
7Each quote from the holy texts is given in its entirety, even when there are parts of a verse that may not apply. (8A complete quote simply keeps everything in context.)
9Aside from these technical details, this section is aimed at the questionable elements of each religion, in order to get to the heart of each issue.
1OYou should never accept any faith without at least some level of scrutiny or examination. 11Take a good hard look at these contentious problems that plague religion today.
