How is that "positive" at all? The writer just seethes with anger.

I attack this book because it is the enemy of human liberty -- the greatest obstruction across the highway of human progress.

Let me ask the ministers one question: How can you be wicked enough to defend this book?

This is a judgmental, fire and brimstone sermon. He is not very different than the ones he attacks.

To prove that a book is inspired you must prove the existence of God.

Here we go again, same old stuff. "I am so important that everything in the universe must be spelled out to my exact expectations to stroke my ego ...." Anyone who demands proof of God is missing the entire concept of faith. Of what value is faith if there is what the atheist sees as "proof" of God?

This book taught man to despise the joys of this life, that he might be happy in another -- to waste this world for the sake of the next

Absolutely. Look at the people who are able afford the "joys" of this life more than the rest - those with the most fame and fortune. Are they the happiest? Is the common story - "boy becomes rock star, experiences spiritual nirvana?" Or is it "boy becomes rock star, dies of drug overdose?" It has been my experience that rich people are more screwed up and unhappy than anybody.

But who is really happy? I contend that it is the humble people with faith. Call them stupid all you like, believers are some happy people. They are certainly happier than all these angry atheists. What irony it is that the angry lawyer atheist attacks the happy believers. "Stop being happy! Just stop! You should be angry like me!"

It makes me smile.
