Official synopsis Publisher
Incendiary in its passion and irrefutable in its evidence, this classic of atheistic literature condemns Christianity as superstition and wishful thinking rooted in early paganism, “sourced” by anonymous fables, and promoted by self-serving men seeking “worldly riches and power.” Raging against the blatant manipulations of the early Church and the antiscience agenda of the modern Church, American writer JOSEPH WHELESS (1868-1950) takes on everything from faked “relics” and the “holy mummery” of stigmatics and other dramatic mystics to the “priestly terrorism” of the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the Church’s historical intolerance. This is an absolute must-read for anyone looking for ammunition to counter the argument that the longevity of Christianity is evidence of its legitimacy.
