Airplane crash - into a train wreck - over a cliff
My niece gave me this book to try and convert me into a Christian. And for her sake, I read it with an open mind even though it gave me a headache to do so. I must admit I skipped the Bible part because I have already read the Bible several times (forced to until I was 18 years old). Anyway, the book contains some really mind numbing arguments. For example: "Questions atheists can't definitively answer #8 - which came first the chicken or the egg?". I am astounded that some of this outdated, false, and erroneous information is published in a book for everyone to see.

So, I would avoid this book if you are trying to convert Atheists to be Christians you will probably have the opposite affect.

FREETHINKERS, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!
This version of the ATHEIST BIBLE starts off with showing the obvious conflicts in the bible BUT it later attempts to explain them. Numerous times within the reading it offers to assist the reader in giving it's soul to Jesus. I should of known better when I noticed it was published by a bible outreach. Overall this book is a poor attempt of Christians conversion.

Not to be confused with Camenietzki's, Konner's or Linsley's books of the near same title
There are several different publications out there called "The Atheist's Bible" (note the apostrophe "s"). Shalom Camenietzki's book is a collection of short stories. Joan Konner's book is a quotations collection. Geoff Linsley's is a criticism of theism from a scientific point of view. There was also an atheism zine of the same title. Obviously these titles are tongue-in-cheek, because atheism (which means nothing more than "no belief in deity") has no actual official canon.

This book, however, is just a failed attempt to convert atheists to Christianity. It's put out by Holman Bible Outreach, which is sponsored by LifeWay Christian Resources, a group which rakes in a net income of about $450 million. I first saw it plugged by washed-up sitcom actor Kirk "Crocoduck" Cameron.

Even by evangelical (euphemism for "zealous") standards, this book is a joke. The contents are about as unoriginal as the title. I have read other books that were admittedly much better written and much more persuasive in their arguments. But this one is on the intellectual level of Jack Chick tracts. Cameron's TV partner, Ray "Banana Man" Comfort, posted the book's "10 questions atheists can't answer" on his blog. These include "What happens after death?", "What is the purpose of life?", and even "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" And of course, they assume that since Christian dogma gives answers to these questions ("God-did-it!") that this somehow makes atheism a defenseless position. Also included are lame counter-attempts at resolving Bible contradictions, which just goes to show you that if you're creative enough, you can stretch the meaning of words to rationalize away just about anything.

This book is only going to convert people who are already desperate and predisposed to Christianity to begin with, and reinforce the atheism of other atheists.
