Spirited Reasoning by Graves...

I found the sylized writing charming in a late 1800's kind of way. The points made by Kersey Graves abolish all credibility that Chrisianity is an "oringianl religion." It further establishes solid proof by example, that Religious "Faith" in general, not just Jesus and Christianity, is a bogus dysfunctional lifestyle choice from the past. Yet, people love to indulge in a Savior Fetish... Pick One. They are all the same.

The truth in this book trandscends organized religion

I read the book as well as the book intitled THE BOOK YOUR CHURCH DOES'NT WANT YOU TO READ and THE CHRIST CONSPIRACY and all of these books chalanged my pre-concieved beliefs in the faith of my upbringing and for that I am thankful . It was horrifying at first but the truth is setting me free . I now see the universe and all that is around me in a much bigger perspective than I once did and it is wonderful !

Absolutely astounding

After reading this book, my belief system was thrown into complete chaos. Never had I read such a treatise that tears into fundamenalist's oft-repeated arguments about their one true savior and renders them impotent- and this book was written over 100 years ago! Most striking is when the author points out errors in the Bible that call to question the accuracy of it and in the process, puts a challenge to the entire Bible (for example: How did the wise men come from the east if they were following a star in the east?). I can only think of two things wrong with this book. One, since it is over 100 years old, some of the spellings are incorrect (such as Mohammad-Mahomet and Quetzalcoatl-Quetxacote). Also, the author believed that with his book, fundamentalist Christianity would cease to exist. Unfortunately, this did not come true. This book is well written and calmly written, unlike other books that attack Christianity, which engage in wild theories and are usually written by people who have a prior agenda against Christian fundamentalists (such as homosexuals and atheists) Highly recommended for anyone who wants to be challenged or challenge ignorance.

Superb revelation about respect for the worlds religions.

Understanding the many ways God speaks to his children is the essence of this book. It makes one humble in their belief and understanding about how mankind fits together in this one world.Understanding the origin of practices causes one to rethink and look beyond what is constantly told for him to believe. This book causes the thinker to think and re-evaluate. Most especially, however, the respect for Gods many messengers down through the ages and the role or task they had before them to lift the consciousness of the people.
