Here, Ingersoll addresses the Pentateuch (first five books of the Bible). He eloquently points out the absurdity of the claims and stories contained in these books, which he argues were written by primitive men and not by some all-powerful, all-knowing supernatural being. It was an absolute joy to read, and hard to believe it was written over 140 years ago, in 1879, when religion had an absolute stranglehold over the minds of the masses.
bookishbitch That sounds amazing! I love stuff like that. Have you ever read The year of living biblically by A.J.Jacobs? That is another good look at the bible and religion. 4y
BestDogDad @bookishbitch I haven‘t read that one but I just looked it up and it sounds funny. Added to my TBR. Thanks for the recommendation! 4y
