Publisher Description
Vincent Bugliosi turns his critical eye on both religious believers and the atheists who reflexively oppose them. Here he indicts both camps, and argues why agnosticism is the most responsible position to take with regard to such eternal questions as the existence of God. Bugliosi examines such developments as the decline of belief in evolution and the disturbing vengefulness of God as depicted in the Old Testament. He also questions that an all-powerful and all-knowing creator would have so badly miscalculated free will, leaving human beings to persecute and murder their fellow human beings. Vincent Bugliosi sets a new course - a middle path that urges us to recognize the limits of what we know, and what we cannot know about the ineffable mysteries of existence.

"Great book, the part about evolution held flawed reasoning at best but the rest of it was well thought out and well pit together. He speaks with an intense clarity and he gives an interesting perspective to the god debate"

Divinity of Doubt Listener Reviews

" Bugliosi's reasoning is unquestionnable as he is attempts to neither prove or disprove either side of the issue. All he asks is that we think about it - rationally. "

" As an atheist I was interested to see what Mr. Bugliosi had to say about the subject of God. However, I was taken aback by his take on atheists (they want to destroy religion - untrue) and his take on Charles Darwin and evolution. When he wrote in his book the silly anti-evolution diatribe of "if man evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?" I put the book down. I had no further interest in reading anything he had to say on the subject when he so obviously had so little knowledge on the subject. $20 wasted to buy this book. Mr. Bugliosi should stick to legal matters. "

" Everyone who has ever thought about religion, atheist or devout Christian, MUST read this book! "
— Bob, 1/14/2014 -
" Not that impressed. This famous lawyer might stay in his area of expertise - legal issues. Some salient points made but overall sounded too scolding. I realize that the narrator caused much of the tone but so did the authors words. "
— Tim, 11/5/2013 -
" Just a bad book. The author does not have a deep enough understanding of the vocabulary needed to talk about atheists, agnostics, and theists. Furthermore, his broad generalizations are insulting. "
— Anthony, 10/5/2013 -
" Interesting but difficult to get through!! "
— Mary, 10/2/2013 -
" Interesting and thought provoking. Whether you agtee with Bugliosi, he provides some challenging ideas and will make you think. "
— Bobbie, 8/27/2013 -
" Nowhere near as good as Hitchens, Dawkins and Harris, but still some pretty good word tracks. "
— Garrett, 2/6/2013 -
" compelling reading; thoroughly enjoyable and infornmative "
— Mal, 11/6/2012 -
" I agree with most of the conclusions here but the arguments are so weak and specious and the tone so over the top contemptuous and pompout (this guy make Richard Dawkins seem positively consiliatory) that I found it hard to take seriously. "
— Darin, 4/19/2012 -
" Quite harsh at times but asks good questions! "
— Jennifer, 1/8/2012 -
" Just not a good book on the subject. Rehashes old arguments and does so with little class. The author is out of his league on the subject. He should stick to analyzing the events surrounding Charles Mansion and stay clear of theology. "
— Mark, 9/11/2011 -
" A lot of research by Bugliosi has gone into this book. There is much to learn here. "
— Ed, 7/31/2011 -
" By far the best book on religion I have ever read. Highly recommended! "
