I would say that this book is probably a great starting point for anyone that has even the slightest doubt about Christianity. He represents some popular biblical inaccuracies along with a few other not so popular. In the second edition he also includes a few other arguments against faith from a secular prospective that serve to blossom the seed of doubt any uncertain believer may feel.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. The Author explains how the Christian religion has maintained it's grip on America, yet it's not practiced as much as it is inherited from generation to generation. What effect did Christianity have on slavery, native Americans, wars and the laws of America? Read this book and you will understand the grip Christianity has on the past and present in America. The first book by a young author who has a great writing style that is easy to follow. *****

In his book `Disproving Christianity', David McAfee systematically dismantles some of the basic tenets of the world's most popular brand of religion. In particular, he dissects various aspects affecting the very basis of Christianity directly from God's own book - the `holy' Bible. McAfee shows time and again, inconsistencies and discrepancies as well as many contradictions that are attributed to the Christian God; a character who is supposedly all knowing and essentially perfect - and infallible. The resulting conclusion that one is obliged to reach at the end of a journey through this succinct look at the many problems, is that either the Christian God is a complete liar at worst, entirely contradictory at best, or most likely that He is not actually real at all. The reader is really not left with any alternative conclusion - unless `faith' in the idea that God can somehow still recover from the onslaught renders the reader incapable of common sense and reason - attributes that would serve much better than faith when considering the numerous problems McAfee considers and exposes. Whilst the seasoned scholar may require more than is on offer, this book will more than suit most readers who are looking for a rounded and rational `easy to understand and appreciate' analysis of the reality behind Christianity.

Jim Whitefield, author of `The Mormon Delusion' series.

When a religion that pretends to preach the gospel truth, on the contrary prefers to paint the picture of incredible lies to the world, it should equally develop the thick skin to accept the turbulence of discrediting that, of necessity, would attend the unravelling of its peculiar lies. David McAfee's account of Disproving Christianity, as evidently detailed in this book, is an all inclusive and most satisfactory illustration of weighing up Christianity - the world's most popular religious trademark - as the ultimate fraud which has no precedent in the annals of human civilization. The damning indictments the author presented against the morality of the Christian god, which I venture to remark in my observation as positively incontrovertible, makes this book a must read for all truth seekers.

- Adebowale Ojowuro, Author of The Crisis of Religion

This accessible and fascinating book manages to pack an abundance of key information into less than 200 pages. It's an invaluable resource for those who are unafraid to think for themselves and ask the hard questions.

David G. McAfee's "Disproving Christianity and other Secular Writings" is a welcome and important addition to the body of literature that dares to stand up for humankind and oppose those who claim that religion, magic and mysticism are required for one to lead a happy, purposeful and good life.

Christians who rely on the Bible to defend their positions will find plenty to think about here as McAfee turns their own book against them. By pointing out numerous contradictions, errors and just plain outrageous passages, McAfee shows that the Bible falls far short of perfection and fails as a foundation for basing morality upon. Unlike some books critical of the Bible, this one never bogs down in mind-numbing detail or becomes too complex for laypersons. It's the perfect book to hand a friend or family member who needs a nudge toward reason and reality.

"Disproving Christianity and other Secular Writings" is great stuff, a must-read for skeptics and believers alike!

-Guy P. Harrison, author of 50 Popular Beliefs That People Think are True and 50 Reasons People Give for Believing in a God

With the changes he has made in this edition of his wonderful book, Disproving Christianity:Refuting the World's Most Followed Religion he has again struck a nerve that will resonate among all sides of the theological path. His ability far outpaces his medium, and I hope to see it in the hands of many thousands of truth seekers soon. I will be sharing his book and promoting it for many years to come, it is my sincere hope that he does not simply stop here however.

Encore David, encore and an easy 5 stars from myself!

I bought David's book and was excited when it arrived. Although many books have been written on the subject, this one is one of the best I have read. David gives a short introduction providing background information for his following analysis. He provides many discrepancies in the bible as well as verses which directly contradict the prevailing doctrines of the present day church. My favorite is his quotation of Judges 1:19, which directly contradicts the doctrine of god's omnipotence. There are far too many contradictions in the bible for David to have mentioned them all, but he does an excellent job in choosing examples and discussing them. I applaud David for doing such s good job refuting the infallibility of such a sensitive subject in a non demeaning manner
