The Painful Truth about The Worldwide Church of God |
|
Most unbelievers, despite the fact that they are unpersuaded of the truth and value of Christianity and faith-based religions generally, are nevertheless familiar with the Bible and the theological claims associated with it. Few believers, though, have devoted much consideration to the ideas and thinking of Atheists as Atheists themselves present and develop them.
For those believers who are not afraid of critically examining their faith and seriously considering the arguments of unbelievers, the following works are suggested as RECOMMENDED READING, and can certainly form the basis of a solid Freethought library for Freethinkers.
