A fantastic book that is perhaps the best exposé ever written on the world’s largest and most popular religion (approximately 2.5 billion adherents) from an ‘insider’ who participated in Christianity for many years. You can search far and wide and you will not find a better book on what Christianity is, why it is a successful failure, and why it’s being a successful failure should be of urgent interest to you and those you care about.
…
Apparently, being an “insider” for many years didn’t teach him humility.
I mean, I could also argue about how the Jedi religion was an even bigger successful failure…
Anakin Skywalker: “Well, from my point of view, the Jedi are evil!”
I gotta know–what qualifies this author as an “insider?” Who is he, the Pope’s dresser? A cardinal? A priest? Or just an adherent? Some guy who was baptized?
So, of course, I checked. “Insider” apparently means, “was a Christian.” Wow. I guess that means if someone works in the mailroom for the Trump companies, they could write a book claiming to be an “insider” in the President’s inner circle. FFS.
In fact, didn’t the NYT try that very thing with a supposed “senior White House official” claiming to have all kinds of insider knowledge? (As I recall, most of Trump’s supporters just had a good laugh while suggesting that “senior White House official” meant “one of our lowly unpaid interns we tasked with writing some filler crap for our op-ed page” at the NYT.)
In this case, I’m thinking by “I was a Christian” the author means “I have been to church a couple of times.”
I think your recollection is correct! 🙂 So, I guess we should expect the Mailroom Expose any minute now! 🙂 “Insider.” What a load of hooey.
