I found a great book out there called the Atheist's Bible. The entire contents are quotes, mostly atheists or agnostics but also from critics of organized religion. The book, edited by Joan Konner (former Dean of the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism), contains quotes covering everyone from Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris to Gypsy Rose Lee, Homer Simpson and Woody Allen. For any Atheist or anyone questioning thier faith, this is a great book to keep handy. Don't let the title of this one scare you off, The Atheist bible is humorous, inspiring and just plain insightful.
The Atheist Bible:
"God isn't real. The end."
I'll be sure to check that out, though.
I haven't seen the book, and don't know what it's like content-wise, but wouldn't having a bible make atheism... you know... worse? I thought we were free-thinkers, not book-following-thinkers like the theists.
Although, I can respect a good comedy and it's probably a good book anyway =D
Doesn't "bible" mean collection of books?
Anyway, sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out sometime.
bible does indeed mean book. it's from the word biblios if i remember right.
I've got a few books in my "athiest bible" collection. Brief history of time, Science as a Candle in the Dark, The god delusion... i keep adding to my collection so i'll have to check this one out!
If bible is "collection of books", I'd say no atheist bible can be complete with out Atheism: The Case Against God by George H. Smith. I personally count this as one of the best books I've ever read.
Sagan's Demon Haunted World (the one izult listed as "Science as a Candle in the Dark", same book) is also a necessity.
