Dr. Andy Bannister uses humor and thought provoking statements to unravel many arguments that atheists say.
Atheism is becoming more popular these days with movies, best-selling books, and other forms of advertisements.
This book along with careful study will help readers to learn more about atheism.
About the Author-
Andy Bannister currently lives in Toronto with his family. He enjoys mountain climbing, hiking, and taking photos. He is the Director of RZIM Canada. He speaks all over the world to people about faith, culture, society, and politics. He has a PhD in Islamic Studies.
My thoughts-
I liked how Dr. Bannister used humor in The Atheist Who Didn’t Exist to get his point across. I feel that the use of humor will help draw skeptics in, because there will be more for them to relate to. The title of the book and the different chapter titles, like “Aim for That Haystack,” help draw people in as well. They will want to know what haystacks have to do with “Why Psychological Arguments Against Religion Fails.”
He uses a lot of different quotes from different well-known atheists, such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. He takes those quotes and proceeds to deconstruct them to show how they cannot be true.
There are great lists of books for further reading at the end of each chapter. I think it would have been nice if there was a master list at the end of the book. I also would have liked to have been able to read a brief summary at the end of each chapter. I would have enjoyed learning what Dr. Bannister felt were his main points.
This book can be used as a tool to help talk with atheists. I recommend that no matter what you believe that you should read this book.
