God 101: There is None?

by David Lane

Overview

For a fictional character, this God of the Old and New Testament is certainly not a pleasant fellow. It makes one wonder why anyone would think spending eternity with such a moody creature would be "heaven." Indeed, this God is a mass murderer without peer.

This short essay radically critiques our festivals of God and then goes very briefly into the life and work of Peter McWilliams who wanted to write a book entitled GOD 101, based on his famous LIFE 101 series. Sadly, Peter died before he could come out with his definitive book on atheism.
