I have a lot of religious friends try and talk me into reading their books. I respond, when you have read on tenth of the religious books I have, I will read yours - I have probably read 500-600 religious books, not counting the Bible, Koran, Book of Mormon, etc. I then ask them if they have ever read one book by a major atheist writer. Invariably, they have not. So why should I read another of your books, when I have already read more than you have, yet you haven't read one of mine? That usually stops them cold and a few take up the challenge. I then make a quick decision about the book I think would best fit them and recommend it. I NEVER loan them a book because they will never read it and I'll never see it again. Instead, I say, "If you are interested in the book, you can get it at the bookstore or Amazon."

On another note, I have read CS Lewis and I feel for you. He was a nice guy but a terrible theologian.

Hey, great to hear you liked it. I will be at Huntville and Tuscaloosa in January. Hope to meet you. If he talked for 6 hours, you must have hooked something in him. I had a devout Southern Baptist friend leave the church and become an atheist after reading the book. I have two Catholic friends that did the same thing. It seems to have that effect on some people. I'll look at your post. I didn't notice it before.
