I'm currently reading Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion, and it is fantastic. I just have to share this paragraph with you:
Read it! He's a brilliant scientist and a brave defender of rationality, and a good author as well.To be fair, much of the bible is not systematically evil but just plain weird, as you would expect of a chaotically cobbled-together anthology of disjointed documents, composed, revised, translated, distorted and 'improved' by hundreds of anonymous authors, editors and copyists, unknown to us and mostly unknown to each other, spanning nine centuries.
