In God We Trust: But Which One? by Judith Hayes published by FFRF Inc.

In God We Trust is a fresh, new look at the fatal flaws in religious belief. The biblical account of Noah's Ark and the Universal Flood is perhaps the most implausible story for fundamentalists to defend. Where, for example, while loading his ark, did Noah find penguins and polar bears in Palestine? A Roman Catholic worships a god who speaks through the Pope, while a Baptist worships a god who does not. They cannot be worshipping the same god (especially in a "one truth faith" scenario). If we are going to teach "creation science" as an alternative to evolution, then we should also teach the stork theory as an alternative to biological reproduction. If a plane crashes and 99 people die while 1 survives, it is called a miracle -- should the families of the 99 fatalities think so too? As Christians try to force prayer into public schools, they often settle for a "moment of silence". But that supposedly innocuous "Moment of silence" is a deafening roar to a nonbeliever. Life can be beautiful, profound and awe-inspiring, even without an irate god threatening us with eternal torment -- or god's self-appointed spokespersons imposing their various notions of proper god-subservient behaviors on everyone else. The chapters include: Where Angels Fear to Tread; The One True God, The Good Book; The Genesis of Absurdity; Sex and Satan; The Messiah; Pandora's Box; Doing Good; Is Anybody Out There?, and A Most Unlikely Freethinker. In God We Trust is easy to read and hard to put down! Judith Hayes has been a frequent columnist for Freethought Today. In God We Trust is available directly from the Freedom From Religion Foundation at $15.00 per copy, or directly from the author at $13.00.
