Adams Vs. God : The Rematch Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Phillip Adams says he stopped believing in God at the age of six.

At sixty-eight he has gathered the best of his essays on God and godlessness into this bible-banging, irreverent book.""Adams v God: The Rematch"" takes up where his 1985 book ""Adams v God"" left off, bringing us right up to date.

From politics to prostitution, from the deep North of Queensland to the deep South of the USA, from Shiites to Jehovah's witnesses, Adams pulls no punches about the fictions of the faithful.For Adams, 'God is a word given to absence...of information, of comprehension, of answers.

The idea of God grows in the way a balloon grows, a membrane inflated by ignorance.''I don't see God as a great, huge overwhelming idea - I see him as a very small, nervous idea.

A timid, pipsqueak of a notion against the immeasurable, preposterous, inexpressible vastness of what is and isn't.'""Adams v God: The Rematch"" is a book for our times.

It exposes the dangerous links between religion and politics, and the dogmatism of ideologies as a cause for conflict in the world.
