5.0 out of 5 stars Quick read... some excellent points, May 22, 2008

Honestly, I can't imagine how any religious person could read this book and walk away still being a believer. And keep in mind that Ingersoll was presenting his views in the late 1800s. My only criticism is that I wish it was a little longer and Tipton could have done a better job at catching some of the typos before the book went to press. Give it a read and see for yourself. I also recommend "What's God Got To Do With It?" by Ingersoll.

If you haven't read Robert G. Ingersoll and you are a freethinker then you need to get some of his books. He was a man way ahead of his time and so easy to read he was an excellent speaker and it shows in his essays.

Ingersoll thinking were clearer than crystal. A courageous man. He shows us how much rubbish remains alive for such a long time. A book I recommend to be read.
